We have 5.0.27 installed on a CentOS machine that doesn't have a ton

files. Is this possible at all?
If you use proper mount-options, you can set the owner of the files.
mount -t smbfs -o uid=mysql $SHARE $DESTINATION
In general: This should not be a problem, but it will be slow as the
network is propably slower than your local disc. Guess you knew that.
Yep. I'll try this . Thanks a lot!
