Hi Geza, hi everyone
OK, conclusion.

I have a single box with s4 DC. The same same box with a Vbox guest
running S3.6, and NFS. The S4 DC becomes a NFS client when I mount the
shares from the Vbox guest on it. I create users and their home
directories on the DC. Files are served from the S3 Vbox guest. The DC
has no shares apart from [global], [netlogon] and [sysvol]. The s3
guest carries all the shares I would normally add after the 3 default
DC shares. Instead of using the hostname of the DC when I mount shares
on remote clients, I use the hostname of the S3 Guest.

How am I doing so far?

Hi,

IMHO what you've written could be a short HOWTO for using Samba4 in a
network (maybe just without virtualbox part ;-) ). If this is more than
a test setup I would recommend using Xen or KVM for virtualisation (My
production boxes run on top of Xen for about 6 years, and at home I use
KVM (for running test setups) (was easier to set up on a Desktop
machine), (used Virtualbox before (didn't have hardware support for KVM))).


Hi Geza, hi everyone

Thanks. Praise indeed coming from a dev of your status:) I'd still like to see s3fs cope with file serving on the DC itself, as it's sooo much easier to setup.

What is wrong with Vbox? Is Xen any smaller or faster? Our DC has only 2GB RAM. Running a VM on top of is already asking a lot of it. Also we have rpm's for host and guest out of the box on openSUSE. Can you take snapshots on Xen like on Vbox and roll back when you screw up?

On the NFS side of affairs I see it is impossible to create a group rw NFS4 share from a 0022 umask. The NFS devs seem unwilling or unable to do anything about it. Meanwhile the NFS3 Kerberos backport works well enough. Any ideas? A separate partition with a 0002 umask. Can I do that on the same disk?

Cheers,
Steve
