Hi Samba List,
I believe I need to create a "Junction Point" on a Windows XP Pro
machine
that will seamlessly link up to a Samba Share on a Linux Server.
>From my understanding, the creation of a "Junction Point" will
hide from an
application the fact that the "space referenced by that junction
point" is
actually located someplace else.
While it is possible to create an "NTFS Junction Point" in Windows
that
links up to a completely separate local drive (that is, a drive connected to the
same Windows XP Pro machine), it is NOT possible to create an "NTFS
Junction
Point" that links up to a network share.
But it seems it IS possible to create a "DFS Junction Point" inside
Windows
that links up to a Samba Share. Is that true?
If so, will Windows applications truly not know that the storage space is on
a network drive? And if so, can anybody recommend a straightforward
"how-to"
on setting up DFS on the Samba side?
Your thoughts would be appreciated
