You asked about cross-protocol locking. That's achievable, but it depends on using applications that actually do lock the files and some understanding about what you get when you lock the files in this way. If you don't have well-behaved apps that lock files to guard against concurrent access, then you'll have problems even if you're not using NFS and samba together. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
