NFS With Samba

[vxxzy]

---

Can I share an NFS mount with samba?

Scenario:

ServerA has an NFS Mount to ServerB at mount point /home/qlogger/logs

I can cd to /home/qlogger/logs on ServerA and see the contents as they would be on ServerB (NFS Working with proper permissions rw).

I have a samba share setup on ServerA to share the NFS Mounted Directory (/home/qlogger/logs)

I connect with my windows host and am able to view the files and folders. I can create folders just fine however; when I go to copy a file from the windows machine to the samba share I receive a message saying the file is locked.

I have disabled oplocks in samba and the problem still persists.

Any suggestions?

Please and thank you!

hi and welcome.

Yes, I have a suggestion: Don´t re-export a network-filesystem
That is just asking for trouble.
It is a fragile setup: you depend on 2 servers to work, not just one
And it introduces unneeded complexity, as you already experience

I would
a) mount the nfs from windows (can be done, althought the windows Services for Unix SFU is a bit odd, imho)
or
b) This is about logs? Standard logs maybe?
Then I would go for rsyslog and phplogcon
