Well, there is the question why are you using samba instead of nfs, because you have not mentioned "windows".

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions, and yes I should have mentioned that I also have Windoz computers on my network as well and I want to share all my file systems, including /, with those systems as well. I guess I thought that was implicit in saying I am using Samba but on re-reading my email I can see the confusion. It is hard to be sure I have covered all the bases when composing an email like this. Sorry for the confusion.

I like NFS also, have used it in the past, but stopped when I realized it does not work for Windoz systems and I wanted a one-shop solution. I will set it up again for the "Linux - Linux" systems and try it out, but that costs double maintenance.
