Netapp (a CIFS/NFS NAS solution) has the ability to emulate a physical
device and present itself as a local drive to a Windows box over the
network. It involves a Windows client side driver as well as some
server side stuff to do this. To Windows, the drive appears to be local
and not a mapped drive (you can format it/etc) Are there any
initiatives to do something like this with Samba?
