I'm currently investigating the possibility of using a filer in a
mixed unix/windows environment. Basically, we will have a unix-based
ftp server, and various windows based web servers. The way this
particular application is built means we could make good use of
the cifs mechanism change/notify.
As far as I can see, OnTap supports this, more or less, even to
the extent of sending notification to cifs clients when an nfs client
makes a change to a file. However, the documentation (including bugs
online) is unclear on how complete the implementation is. Does anyone
know what the current status is ?
