[Samba] sharing an autofs nfs mount

[Thibault Roulet]

Hi,

This setup is probably not super clean but I don't have much choice. 
Here is the structure

There is an Autofs configuration on myserver1 to automount nfs shares 
from remote machines into /data/clients/.

[myserver1]

├── client1504l
├── client1504r
├── client1508
├── client1509
├── client1510
├── client1512
├── client1514
├── client1516
├── client1518
├── client2407l
├── client2407r
├── client3204
├── client4313l
├── client4313r
├── client5313l
├── client5313r
├── clientf492l
├── clientf492r


Then, in my smb.conf I'm sharing /data/clients/

Users can access this share and therefore all the files from all the 
clients.

To have this setup working, I have to add
     msdfs root = yes
in my share definition. Else, impossible to enter it.

Then, I have plenty of errors in my syslog like

smbd[30605]: vfswrap_read_dfs_pathat: Error reading msdfs link 
folder1/folder2: No such file or directory

Is that something normal?

Is there another way to do what I want to do? (I mean, a cleaner way?)

Cheers,
