Accessing a DFS folder from operating systems other than Windows


are dfs folders accessible operating systems other windows, such oracle solaris?

setting dfs folder hosted 2 windows server 2012 r2 machines (both serving dcs well), placed on different geographical locations. we have few dozen windows clients , couple oracle solaris servers on each site, , access (both read , write) contents of dfs folder set oracle solaris servers, same way windows clients access it.

oracle website has brief description on this. seems it's supported limitations, hear opinions , caveats if else has tried.

solaris uses samba (smbclient), right?  afaik smbclients somehow works (with proper wins config , other caveeats). 

we not use dfs-namespaces on non-windows boxes had issues us. seem work, never fall or update foldertargets, stick "classic" direct references smb shares.
