There is no problem for a given machine exporting the same file system with both samba and nfs. The problems are when a given machine imports with one service (is in the 'client' role) and exports with the other (is in the 'server' role). > > Following is my requirement > > I have a vxfs filesystem /interfaces which is exported to 3 unix > servers using nfs > > Now the customer, wants to export /interfaces/outbound to 4 windows > servers using SAMBA. This should not be a problem, at least as I understand what you are doing (it is a little unclear the way you have stated things). I am assuming that you have some server 'master', which mounts /interfaces as a local (to 'master'), and it exports this to three unix servers ('unix_a', 'unix_b', and 'unix_c'), that is on master in /etc/exports you have something like: /interfaces unix_a(rw),unix_b(rw),unix_c(rw) and now you want to install samba on master and have a block like: [outbound] path = /interfaces/outbound in master's /etc/samba/smb.conf > > Following is the NFS and SAMBA version > > CIFS-Server A.02.02.01 HP CIFS Server (Samba) File and Print > Services > NFS B.11.23 ONC/NFS; Network-File > System,Information Services,Utilities > > Can we export /interfaces/outbound using SAMBA?
