SAMBA seems to have really picked up as a topic these last couple of weeks.
My question concerns the file systems that SAMBA uses to support the
remote requests. This machine is used for both FBSD and WFWG 3.11. I am
planning to use SAMBA as a file server for the WFWG files stored in the
DOS partitions, and used on another WFWG machine.
I have been following (over the last year) the saga of the fitness of
using the DOS FS. Some people seem to have a disaster, and others say it
works just fine. In my case I have 3 DOS partitions (1 primary and 2
extended) of 250 Mb each.
Is SAMBA safe with DOS partitions? Should the FreeBSD partitions be the
only ones used?
Any experiences are guidelines would be appreciated....
