This may be a really stupid question, but...


I have a Vista machine and my MythTV server (Gentoo), and both have network shares. When I mount my Windows shares on my Gentoo box, I use CIFS so that MythTV can use the MP3s on my Windows box.

However, I have Recordings on my MythTV box that I want to share back to my Windows machine. I've configured the /media/recordings directory to shared in /etc/samba/smb.conf and that works fine. But the share is slow, and I'd like to specify a CIFS share rather than the default SMB share.

Is that even possible?


from my smb.conf:
Code:
[recordings]
    comment = shared
    path = /media/recordings
    guest ok = yes
    browseable = yes
    inherit permissions = yes
    writeable = no

Try giving samba-tng a try. There is no "cifs" and smbfs like in the kernel.
