That should work Yes it is, the reason is: it's NOT working well. The SFU is outdated and It's for playing only. It's not a product that you would put on the production server (cluster). But as I've already pointed out in my early post, this is different subject that's already been solved with 3rd party software that is able to export windows shares over NFS for *nix servers. So, I'm still interesting in the *real* reason for this "issue".
