Perforce client root remapping

I am very new to Perforce so this might be a dumb question.

All the sources I work against are checked out in a Linux server and the location is shared开发者_开发百科 via Samba. I mount that location on a client Windows machine so I can work but I am finding I cannot use the local Perforce binary on my client machine because of workspace path mismatches.

Can I configure p4 clients so that I can "remap" workspace paths locally?

Have a look at the AltRoots field in the client spec. It should let you specify that the two directory paths are the same client.
