I know that it is possible to run an NFS server on a Windows box, but underneath it all Windows still handles your files > quite differently from Linux. For example the way that Windows does file locking is a big area of concern and one of the big reasons > Rivendell has not been ported. It took me a while, but I got things pretty stable. I use Samba and reconnect shares in fstab with appropriate permissions. I've also created a "user" on the server for rd and made sure that Windows' permissions were properly set. I've not seen a problem with locking. Not that it won't happen, but I've not yet seen it. By the way, right now this is just a hobby machine; if I move it to actual on-air deployment I would be using Paravel's server/client model. But right now I'm developing (under Windows but with Lazarus to eventually create a Linux version) my own music scheduling software specifically for Rivendell, so I prefer to have my server running Windows. _______________________________________________ Rivendell-dev mailing list Rivendell-dev@lists.rivendellaudio.org http://caspian.paravelsystems.com/mailman/listinfo/rivendell-dev
