Hello -
We're considering acquiring a NAS device and the one my cohorts are
looking at runs Windows Storage Server 2003. It claims to serve NFS
and play happily in the Linux/Unix environment, but having been burnt
before I don't fully trust the marketing speak (especially when it
comes from Microsoft :-).
So before we ask them to send us a system for evaluation, I'd like to see
what the "real" experts have to say. Does Windows Storage Server 2003
*really* play nicely in a mostly Linux/Unix environment? Are there
difficulties to setting it up or running it that a Linux/Unix admin would
want to know beforehand?
Any information would be appreciated,
Debbie
PS The one we're looking at is the PV745 from Dell. Other projects have
this one, but don't run it with Linux/Unix.
