Is it possible to have multiple default shares for CIFS homes?
Not at the moment, although some enhancements are currently being made in this area. For people who have UNIX though, there is a workaround. Here's the gig...
The idea is that you create a single home directories directory and populate it with symbolic links to the real home directories which can be anywhere on the filer.
So, if:
options cifs.home_dir {/vol/vol0}/homeand joe and bill have home directories in /vol/vol5/home, then from a UNIX client you can:
% cd /filer/vol0/home % ln -s /vol/vol5/home/joe ./joe % ln -s /vol/vol5/home/bill ./bill
We do this and it works very well. One thing that has always confused me though - the cifs.homedir works - but if i set up /filer/vol0/home as a share and browse to it all i see are the unresolved links. How come it can do one and not the other? It'd be nice to be able to browse to one spot on the filer and see all the home dirs....
