Dear all, for migrating Samba, I would like to install the latest Samba Server on a new server machine in parallel to the operational one. My questions: - Is there the risk of corrupting data if two machines work on the same (NFS-shared) data? - If so, what is the recommended way of upgrading/migrating samba? - If no, is there anything in particular I need to take care of? Thanks in advance for any help! Gruss, Lukas -- Lukas Ruf <http://www.lpr.ch> | Raw IP <http://www.rawip.org> | Style <http://email.rawip.org> |

You can obtain this book from: http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf Hard copy print will be available at a later date.> - If no, is there anything in particular I need to take care of?Sorry - not enough information given to form a valid response.> Thanks in advance for any help!No problems, but please be patient - this is a user supported list and all responses are voluntary. - John T.
