hi,
more a general question: does anyone know about problems running samba
on a clustered filesystem like Quantum/ ADIC SNFS???
i know, i?m not allowed to export the same FS/mountpoint on different
samba servers. i?m more interested in POSIX conformity, locking issues, etc.
may be somebody already runs SNFS and samba in a large environment?!?!
thx for any help!
micha

Hi, we have STorNEXT together with samba and NFS. All StorNEXT Clients have all 6 FS mounted. The samba server exporting different mount points. But it is possible to export the same folders from both sides. We have our whole file service on SNFS ( nearly 40TB) 12 Clients. What kind of problem do you have ?

Multiple Samba servers on the same file space leads to corrupt data, because the locking is not right. See the clustering pages on wiki.samba.org for the development being done in this area.
