Subject: Linux client SMB and DFS site awareness
Date: Mon, 8 Jan 2024 11:13:11 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALe0_77CgEXNiXrM4oQ47sfHnDoML18oz5rmEu-_57Av0KRTkg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I have a use-case for a Linux SMB client to mount DFS replicated
shares, with a preference for sites that are closer geographically.
DNS site discovery/awareness exists within DFS[0], but I have not read
of any work currently under investigation.
Is anyone actively working on this issue in any capacity? If so, would
they like help in some capacity whether testing/coding?
If this issue is not being actively engaged is there a reason for
this, e.g. low priority, technical complexity/implementation issues,
or some other reason?
I had searched through mailing list archives and found no prior
mention, but I do apologize if this has been discussed and is a
broadly known discussion point.
Thanks for any feedback,
Jacob Shivers
