[KLUG Members] Mac File System

[members@kalamazoolinux.org]

I have a couple of windows boxes and 3 macs being used for video editing for a customer. They need to be able to share graphics and such. I was thinking of a samba share and an NFS mount. There are some software packages that will convert the files as you copy them for sharing also. I have no experience with these. Samba and NFS I have played with a bit and got to work in my lab at school. I was wondering if they had some special kind of file system for Mac like novell you can add a name space to a volume...
