Re: [Samba] Request for explanation on NFS re-export issue
But however: DONT re-export nfs-imported shares with Samba. Install Samba on the NFS server. Just wondering as I have seen this advice a few times in the past. Would it be possible to use msdfs to make it look to the users that the files are still on one server as I have been exporting NFS links like that for many years and my users would be very upset if they had to go to 1/2 dozen servers instead of the one they have been using for years?

Sure, but to switch from non-dfs to dfs be aware that you have to boot all clients. It may also be possible that you're right now sitting on a version that has the msdfs options set to yes. Check your testparm output.

Check your testparm output. Thanks, I know I have it set to no. Are there any serious drawbacks of using dfs? All the clients are XP. I have used it years ago when all our servers were windows 2000 machines but now these are all gone and have been replaced by linux machines.
