Ok, forgot what I said in the last mail.
It is not working with any FStab settings!
If I open (XSI) or render (XSIBatch) a scene on Linux it is not accessable for
the windows XSI version. No matter which user I use to mount the drive on linux.
Seems to be a XSI 5.0 bug. The linux version sets a wrong file access flag and
the windows version is not able to read this kind of read-only files...
Perhaps the solution is to use a non-samba mount for the linux machines.
Anybody has some hints to setup a NFS file sharing?
(Ok, perhaps google or a linux forum is a better place to find descriptions)
