But none seemed to work for me. It seemed to be a little bit different across Linux distros and versions, as well as SMB versions. And in the end, I simply got CIFS to work and had just not yet figured out the exact verbiage for SMB to work in /etc/fstab to mount /mnt/remotewinserver automagically at boot. I did read up on SMB as well to see if I was missing something small. If you have a combination that has worked for you Nate, please do share sir, I would be most gracious on my end...believe me. The remote sharer is a Windows 2003 Server running 2 64bit processors, but the OS was installed as 32bit for whatever reason. > > 3) Unfortunately Windows claimed the big fat HP Storage server before CENT OS could (sorry for this starting to sound like a Windows whinefest too). Having said that, Win2k3 Server runs the array already backing up all Windows servers using Backup Exec. I am ofcourse trying use CENT OS and Bacula but needed large diskspace. Had we had another array/server I could use CENT OS would have no problem running I am certain. So as a second method I am creating a VM running CENT OS and Bacula on the large S:\drive of the Windows server that has an expandable VMDK drive (VMWare). This way my CENT OS/Bacula VM can grow as big as it needs to and to CENT OS and Bacula the storage device is just natively /storage-array. At least that is one plan anyway. > > We are also "talking about" just buying the Symantec Linux client for backups.

Thanks for the help thus far. ---- What it comes down to is you don not have enough A** in your hardware to do scanning in real time. I had the problem with Samba and the clamav module for samba untill I upgraded the hardware. Very CPU Intensive and memory. The right hardware you can saturate a GigE conection. That is logging all transfers file open and close. John
