Piggy backing off this thread. How will symlink.translation solve my problem? Below is our set up:
Two filers with home1 home2 on filer A and home3 and home4 on filer B. Users A-E are on \filerA\home1 Users F-L are on \filerA\home2 Users M-Rare on \filerB\home3 Users S-Z are on \filerB\home4
How can I make mapping from NT or Win2k be the following: \VirtualName\username or \VirtualNameA\username and \VirtualNameB\username
Or what will be the best solution for this set up
Thanks, Oye
I am assuming home1 and home2 are volume names.
I would set up cifs.home_dir on each filer with a symlink for each user. For example if user adam is on filerA in home1, and user beth is in home2, I would have these symlinks:
adam -> /vol/home1/adam beth -> /vol/home2/beth
Then I would educate my users like this:
If your username begins with A thru L, use
\filerA\username
If your username begins with M thru Z, use
\filerB\username
