Plus backup would be nice.
So since I am allergic to Windows servers (the make me
say "bad" words), I thought of a FC29 Samba server.
Then it occurred to me, why not put the shoe on
the other foot. If there is an NFS client for
Windows, why not use NFS? Any benefit of using
NFS over CIFS on this scenario?
You thoughts?
Well, so as not to have to make changes to the client's workstations I would use the
protocol that is supported by default by windows. So, I would use CIFS.
That is why, even though I only use it for testing, my NAS is configured to offer both NFS
and CIFS services.
Also, you may find that some Windows locking protocols don't work over
NFS. And Windows ACLs are different to UNIX ACLs. If they're running
Windows native software I'd imagine that NFS _may_ cause trouble.
But by all means _offer_ both. You may find one is faster than the
other.
