.SH "NAME"
vfs_media_harmony \- Allow multiple Avid clients to share a network drive\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'\ 'u
vfs objects = media_harmony
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
This VFS module is part of the
\fBsamba\fR(7)
suite\&.
.PP
The
vfs_media_harmony
VFS module allows Avid editorial workstations to share a network drive\&. It does this by:
.RS
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 1.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP " 1." 4.2
.\}
Giving each client their own copy of the Avid msmMMOB\&.mdb and msmFMID\&.pmr files and Creating directories\&.
.RE
.sp
.RS 4
.ie n \{\
\h'-04' 2.\h'+01'\c
.\}
.el \{\
.sp -1
.IP " 2." 4.2
.\}
Allowing each client to explicitly control the write time the Avid application sees on Avid media directories\&.
.RE
.sp
.RE
.PP
This module is stackable\&.
.SH "CONFIGURATION"
.PP
vfs_media_harmony
automatically redirects requests from clients for Avid database files or an Avid Creating directory to a client\-specific version of the file\&. No configuration beyond enabling the module is needed to get this portion of its functionality working\&.
.PP
If Mac and Windows Avid clients will be accessing the same folder, they should be given separate share definitions, with hidden Mac files vetoed on the Windows share\&. See EXAMPLES\&.
.PP
To allow each client to control when the Avid application refreshes their Avid databases, create files for each client and each Avid media directory with the name [avid_dir_name]_[client_ip_address]_[client_username]\&. To trigger Avid database refreshes, update the write time on those files\&. See EXAMPLES\&.
.PP
It is also necessary for the
cache locked write times = no
option to be set for clients to be able to control their Avid media folder write times\&.
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.PP
Enable media_harmony for Mac and Windows clients:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
\fI[avid_mac]\fR
\m[blue]\fBpath = /avid\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBvfs objects = media_harmony\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBcache locked write times = no\fR\m[]
\fI[avid_win]\fR
\m[blue]\fBpath = /avid\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBvfs objects = media_harmony\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBcache locked write times = no\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBveto files = /\&.DS_Store/\&._@/\&.Trash@/\&.Spotlight@/\&.hidden/\&.hotfiles@/\&.vol/\fR\m[]
\m[blue]\fBdelete veto files = yes\fR\m[]
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Create the files that will allow users david and susan to control their own Avid database refreshes:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
touch \*(Aq/avid/OMFI MediaFiles_192\&.168\&.1\&.10_david\*(Aq \e
\*(Aq/avid/OMFI MediaFiles_192\&.168\&.1\&.11_susan\*(Aq \e
\*(Aq/avid/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1_192\&.168\&.1\&.10_david\*(Aq \e
\*(Aq/avid/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1_192\&.168\&.1\&.11_susan\*(Aq
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
Trigger an Avid database refresh for user david:
.sp
.if n \{\
.RS 4
.\}
.nf
touch \*(Aq/avid/OMFI MediaFiles_192\&.168\&.1\&.10_david\*(Aq \e
\*(Aq/avid/Avid MediaFiles/MXF/1_192\&.168\&.1\&.10_david\*(Aq
.fi
.if n \{\
.RE
.\}
.PP
If you have a large number of Avid media folders to manage, you can give each editor a suitably modified version of examples/scripts/vfs/media_harmony/trigger_avid_update\&.py to create and update these files\&.
.SH "CAVEATS"
.PP
vfs_media_harmony
is designed to work with Avid editing applications that look in the Avid MediaFiles or OMFI MediaFiles directories for media\&. It is not designed to work as expected in all circumstances for general use\&. For example: It is possible to open a client\-specific file such as msmMMOB\&.mdb_192\&.168\&.1\&.10_userx even though it doesn\*(Aqt show up in a directory listing\&.
.SH "VERSION"
.PP
This man page is part of version 4\&.19\&.5\-git\&.342\&.57620c4f7eSUSE\-oS16\&.9\-x86_64 of the Samba suite\&.
.SH "AUTHOR"
.PP
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell\&. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed\&.
