Hello, I read that replication with DFS-R requires NTFS filesystem on both sides, because it accesses the "change journal". (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc773238%28v=ws.10%29.aspx) Can I use DFS-R between samba4 and windows if I use ntfs-3g? If not is it planned to support DFS-R in a future version of samba? thanks, Klaus -- Klaus Hartnegg, Universität Freiburg, Institut für Anatomie und Zellbiologie, Albert-Straße 23, 79104 Freiburg Tel.: (0761) 203 - 8419, Fax: 8417 Email: hartnegg at uni-freiburg.de

Having said that, what you're really asking is below.> Can I use DFS-R between samba4 and windows if I use ntfs-3g?No.> If not is it planned to support DFS-R in a future version of samba?Not currently on the roadmap, I think this might be quite an effort.
