Hi, i am replacing a Windows NT 4 Domain server (PDC and BDC) by a samba+ldap server on Linux (actually i work with Mandrake Linux). My actual problem is to re produce the NTFS and Domain ACL from widows to Samba. And to be able to chance acc?s ACL on a directory through a windows explorer client. After some reading over internet i read, i should use the XFS file system. Is that mandatory to use XFS or could i use ext3? The XFS file system could be used only for the shared directory file system, or should i use it for the whole system on my server? Regards Laurent
