It is doable, but my experience with mixing NFS mounts with CIFS shares was not a happy one, YMMV. In the end dropped the NFS side. If the files need to be shared by both Windows and *NIX clients I would suggest use CIFS/Samba only (at least for those files which need to shared by both).
What sort of problems were you having? I've had some directories shared by both methods for years and it's worked fine.
Generally you run into permissions problems unless your environment is so small that you can enforce common GID/UIDs across all platforms. But that is not specific to mixing NFS with CIFS, its mostly just a NFS problem. Other than that, the only problem with mixing is that your NFS users will occasionally create a document with the same name but different capitalization, which gives the windows users fits. For mist usage, I've found that SAMBA is plenty fast enough such that there is no advantage to running both systems on the same server. I haven't used NFS for years. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
