  • [Samba] different shares use parts of the same path - is this allow

    From Luke Barone via samba@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 15 17:20:01 2017
    I can't speak to what the best practice is, but I have some shares that are
    set up like that from before I started working there. No major issues as
    long as samba was not setting the permissions differently

    hi everyone

    something like this:

    [big]
    path = /data/big
    writeable = no

    [my.big]
    path = /data/big/my
    writeable = yes

    [your.big]
    path = /data/big/your
    writeable = yes

    is such a configuration healthy? What are possible negative implications
    this may cause, if any?
    ver. 4.4
    many thanks,

    I thought, that would be well tried & tested subject. And
    that samba docs would themselves cover the subject of
    "conflicting" paths, but I sroogled and find almost
    nothing.(or my sroogling force is weak)

    There is no limitation. It works as expected.

    thank chaps,
    but what if one changes:

    [big]
    path = /data/big
    writeable = yes

    and multiple shares would have users writing, would Samba
    take of all this, locking racing or whatever devel calls it.
    Still ok?

    Should work, smbd uses dev/ino pairs to identify
    files. But it's not recommended. Only export a
    filesystem path *once* please.
