Windows/Solaris data sharing
Hi all,

I have a request from Developer team in my compagny, they would like to be able to share data between unix and windows world.

1. We would like to be able to see Unix data from Windows : ?Samba ?

2 We would like to be able to see windows data from Solaris (Mount point) : ?NFS server ?

My concerns is more for the 2nd request. Is NFS stable ?
What's happen if my Windows server is rebooted and the Unix try to access NFS share ? I read the Kernel/process can hang and the unix can become unstable.

As it will be used for Prod, I would like a secure/stable solutions.

Thanks a lot for your help ...

Fabien

you can use samba in both ways. AND there are unix-tools from microsoft so you can use nfs in both ways, too.

That's not really true. You can currently access the windows shares only using the ftp like smbclient on Solaris. There is no support for mounting an CIFS/SMB filesystem in Solaris.

NFS would be a better option, and using an automount rather than a direct mount will prevent said problems with hanging-like behaviour. The directory may become in accessible if the windows server is down, but it will not cause the system to hang.

trying to access a solaris mount point from windows.
I have a situation here, my files are on a EMC which is connected to Solaris. i want to be able to access a directory on Solaris from my windows server.

appreciate your help. Do i have any choice other than SAMBA.

I believe ProNFS can do it. i will have to research on it.

could somebody help me on this.

trying to mount windows share to solaris 10
I have a windows xp workstation; running Sun xVM Virtualbox. The virtualbox has solaris 10 x86 running on it. I'm able to share windows files successfully with solaris 10 using network places smb in solaris os.

I'm also able to mount a windows NFS share to solaris 10. After mounting it, when I cd to the nfs share in solaris 10, it gives the below error message:

# cd /solar1s
NFS access failed for server 10.249.253.27: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
NFS access failed for server 10.249.253.27: error 7 (RPC: Authentication error)
ksh: /solar1s: bad directory
#

For windows nfs share, I've installed Windows Services for Unix on the Windows XP Pro workstation. I've also done user name mapping; but result is the same.

Why does it give the RPC: Authentication error & bad directory error?

Please advise.
