If you move the CIFS server to a VDM with the proper procedure all CIFS shares will be automatically “moved” as well and stay instact.  Anything that’s mentioned in the VDM manual will be moved with the CIFS server    No need to create new shares then
Folks, A basic question: A CIFS server and its filesystem and shares with permissions, acls, security all currently reside on  a physical DM. If i move this FS and the CIFS server to a VDM, the existing shares wont work anymore, so if i create a brand new share manually with the same name and path as the existing shares but on a VDM instead of DM, will clients be able to access exactly as before, will the  permissions, acls, security, etc on the share be as before?  Thanks a ton
new shares, same FS, same CIFS server, different DM
