AIX Replace CIFS by local FS
Hello Everybody, ,

I need some specific help…

Straight to the point, I have a server AIX 5.3 with CIFS Windows Server Shared folder (see en example below )
Code:
 
//X.X.X.X/share$/folder1  /server/rep1/folder1
//X.X.X.X/share$/folder2  /server/rep1/folder2
 
//X.X.X.X/share$/folder1  /server/rep2/folder1
//X.X.X.X/share$/folder2  /server/rep2/folder2

We need to change our system and replace the CIFS link between Unix and windows by a local FS

I'm not a UNIX specialist and i don't know how to do that ?

If you look our configuration //X.X.X.X/share$/folder1 have two mount points (same conf with //X.X.X.X/share$/folder2 ).

How i can have the same configuration with a single FS, i thought use a symbolic link by i'm not sure ?

1 / Create FS
Code:
2 / mount /dev/sda3 /server/rep1/
3 / cd /server/rep1/
4/ mkdir folder1
5/ mkdir folder2
 
6 / cd /server/rep2
7/ ln -s /server/rep2/folder1 /server/rep1/folder1
8/ ln -s /server/rep2/folder2 /server/rep1/folder2

I'm afraid to be on the wrong take , i will appreciate any feedback!
Ben
