I know I can do that for windows clients but our Linux boxes (in the same domain) use autofs e.g. * -fstype=cifs,sec=krb5,multiuser ://server/share/& Will the automounter still work from a DFS share and will it still do the wild card like vanilla cifs? What we'd like to do is add a second samba file server and sync the data between them. Is DFS the way to go for this?
