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 mounted through logon script executed via group policy.
What I have in my head is that I would like alfresco to point to just one of these "department drives" and be able to work against it while maintaining the existing file structure within that department drive.
It is not acceptable to have the documents actually stored within Alfresco as that completely breaks our storage system. As for indexing and meta existing in Alfresco, that's acceptable for now but it would be nice if we could figure that ouut later to be on the storage system.
Anyways, I'm still reading, but I am uncertain what documentation I should actually be reading and some of the example structure is confusing and concerning. I am concerned if I don't do this correctly it will malform the existing structure and adjust it to what Alfresco wants to do.
Can someone please advise?
