Syncing between shares
We use our ReadyNAS with Egnyte, which uses SMB to access. We have a few Mac users who complain of performance issues. I created a new share accessible with AFP and performance improved substantially. I tried setting up an rsync cron job to sync the egnyte folder with the new share which worked for a while but began seeing frequent permission issues. I decided to try out ExtremeZ-IP which seemed to do a decent job of allowing the macs to access the SMB share over AFP, but the cost is prohibitive for us. I think simply syncing the egnyte share with the afp share should do the job, but I think I just don't have the right command or something. Can anyone suggest a better option that will maintain permissions when synced and will sync both ways?

- Hi Shad0wguy,
Unfortunately at this point, Egnyte doesn't capture events that originate over AFP. The only possible way at the moment is for these Mac users to access Egnyte share over CIFS.
Thanks,
Hari - CIFS is completely unusable for our mac users. It is very slow. Egnyte should seriously consider adding AFP support.
