I'm intending to write a VFS module for Samba and my question is: should I be writing it as a samba3 module or rather samba4 ntvfs? Initially I plan to deploy Samba 3 but in the nearest future it will be definitely Samba 4 due to it's ActiveDirectory support. Is writing ntvfs modules actually recommended or is it too low level and something like POSIX abstraction would be more appropriate? If I write it as Samba3 module how much effort is required to migrate it to POSIX compliant module for Samba 4 and eventually ntvfs module? Regards Daniel
