You're certainly using samba+ctdb? Everything else will lead
to data corruption sooner or later.

Different possibilities. With idmap_tdb2 and ctdb you will
put the idmap.tdb into a persistent tdb file which is
consistent across the cluster. Alternatively you can use
idmap_rid or idmap_ad (assuming you have SFU) which
automatically keep the ID mappings consistent.
