For example, I have a server with samba and AFS on it serving multiple
clients (linux and nt).
where interfaces are through nt->samba and linux->afs.
My doubts are
1. At the server level how the requests are processed?
Is it some thing like below.
client request
|
|
V
Samba server
-----------------
AFS
-----------------
Under lying unix file system.
-------------------------
Is the above correct?
2. If so, do every linux client request should travel through the samba
server interface to the afs interface?
Regards,
/Prasad.
