Hi I am running a NFS server (AIX 5.2 ) to export some file system having certain reports to a Linux server (SUSE 9.3). At present both of these systems are on two different LANs but speed is not the issues and so far working fine. Now we are putting this AIX server to a geographical distant place and it would require to supply same reports. I belive, to run NFS over the WAN would be too much of traffic. Samba server is already running on AIX and neccessary firewall rules are also placed in WAN to access shares etc.
What i am looking at is, can i use smbclient to mount these file systems instead of NFS, having said i already have samba server and firewall rules in place. What kind of traffic smbclient generates in comparison to NFS, is it reliable? or there any other program available.
