Well, smb integration on unix is great, and performance is quite good,
so if you can maintain an smb-share for the data towards the rdp-server,
then I think that's an easier deployment to maintain.
I use nfs to mount my disks on the sunray session, but smb from the
rdp-session to access the same data, and I'm having absolutely no issues
at all. Performance is good and permission schemes is easy to maintain.
On slow links however, I would think that nfs performs better than smb.

would you suggest nfs as an alternative? What would you suggest for the PC

I can confirm this - actually, remote disks on RDP is very
slow/ineffective alltogether. Even when the client and server are on
the same local network, the performance is lousy, especially
compared to nfs.
I don't think keepalive TSR will resolve the issue, since it's not
the session itself that needs keepalive, but the spesific "share",
and I believe there are no settings for this.

We have used the -r to access usb drives via rdesktop. I too have
found that the first time you access a USB drive it is very slow. I
have just written it off to the crummy Solaris auto-mounter.

Hi,
I'm interested to know if anyone has had experience with using the '-r
disk'
RDP pass thorugh with rdesktop (RDP) under SunRay / Solaris. We have
noticed that there is a several seconds delay the first time a share
is accessed from a Win 2003 session - subsequent accesses are faster -
although after a break of an hour or so the access is delayed again.
Is this an RDP issue (only creating the channel as required)? If so
does it make sense to use a 'keep alive TSR' on the windows platform?
Marcus
