We use cephfs to serve files to both Linux and Windows machines. In
order to be able to get a consistent layout on both Windows and Linux
clients we automount cephfs on Linux clients and the Samba servers.
Samba serves the automounted files. This way absolute symbolic links
point to the same location on both systems.
