Content Storage + Cifs Network Storage

I'm trying to setup a lab here, and I half the auth pretty much figured out, but I'm stuck with the storage.We have all our actual documents and files we are about on a ZFS host that is sharing department relevant folders via samba through CIFS shares. As such users currently have department drives

All content managed by Alfresco must be stored in an Alfresco content store. It's possible to use the Alfresco Bulk Import Tool to do an in-place bulk migration into Alfresco, but all of your data would still need to be moved into an Alfresco content store directory. The in-place bulk import option is only available in Alfresco Enterprise. You also would NOT want to allow any content in an Alfresco content store to be updated by anything outside of the Alfresco API once it is bulk imported into Alfresco. For example, once the content is imported to Alfresco, you cannot have anyone connect to that directory an add, make changes to, or delete files from that directory because Alfresco does not crawl the content store looking for changes.

You can, however, connect to the Alfresco repository via the CIFS protocol once the content has been imported into the repository.
