I work for a company that has a program localy developed, and we were having a problem when we started storing the application on the samba shared drived mabye simular to what you are expereienceing. in ur smb.conf (usuly in /etc/samba/smb.conf) make sure on the shared drive in samba the oplocks are set (example below) ... <insert more smb.conf here> ;================= Clinic

SuSE 7.2, Samba 2.2.6 User plaform WIN98se Was wondering if someone could point me to information regarding oplocks (I read the man on smb.conf regarding that and level2 oplocks)... I needed to set oplocks = no and level2 oplocks = no in order for them to be able to open pagemaker files from the samba server...otherwise it would say 'can not open file' I am just trying to get a grip on

Hi, I had a Debian woody server with samba as PDC with LDAP backend in the same box, and mixed windows clients (98, XP, etc). The clients accessed a 75MB MS Access database (.mdb) that was put in a Samba share. Everything was fast... everything was good... But, last week I decided to upgrade to debian Sarge, so as you know Samba was upgraded to Samba3 too (3.0.14a), and now if a user tries to

Our Samba file server has a share with an visual basic application, there are 8 XP clients working with this share. The problem is that connections are very slow when accessing mdb databases... we are using MS Access ODBC to connect to the database on the samba server. Is there any special tuning for make things better? Thanks for the posible answers... -- Javier Cano Flores

I have a file server running with Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDB and XLS files. Could anybody give me an optimal setup for my samba server (smb.conf). Actually, the performance is very poor.

Hi all I'm trying to use my Cobol aplication with Smba but i'm getting A LOT OF "OPEN" errors... lookslike system is (or isn't) looking files for read/write. Anybody had this problem? PS: this program isn't mine, it's just for my company made by third company.

Hi all... Last monday i migrated form novell 4.0 to Samba 3.0 PDC. The server acts as a file server for 30 workstations (Win2000) using an aplicattion that combines clipper (with .dbf files) and delphi (uses paradox .px and .db). Its perfomance has been very poor since i changed the server. PLEASE HELP ME, since its in production and i really don know what to do. thanks, sebastian davancens

Hi fans, i tryed to use samba to share a paradox database which comes with a special trade programs. On a novell server it works fine. But on the samba share I get a corrupted database after some minutes of multi user access. I've tryed some entries in the smb.conf and I think a have a very conservative setting now. I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same application

Hello, I've read a lot of information and forums concerning the samba performance question, but nothing was helpful. I'm desperate of the situation so I'm writing here hoping somebody could help me. When copying cca 330MB file from server - I can reach rate about 8-11MB/s depending on some mysticals factors, which I can't identify. To eliminate possible network problems, I've

We're running samba in our organization to serve files in a LAN to windows machines (almost XP), and we're having some performance issues with small files. With big files (ie, ISO images), it works pretty well. But, when small files are involved in the transference, problems arise. In the same environment, a Windows 2000 machine (the 'old' server) is able to send data to

Hi. Between 2 linux (2.6.11 client and 2.6.14 server) machines connected by a 100Mb link I get samba performance copying a file from the client to the server through a smbmounted share of around 4.2MB/s Is this to be expected? Or can it be improved (and if so, how?) I've tried tweaking SO_(SND/RCV)BUF (after reading numerous articles on samba performance...), but it doesn't seem to have

Ok, I'm sure you've answered this more then once, but still here it is : I have a FoxPro 2.0 for Lan application that used to run on DOS boxes connected to a Novell server (and of course with Novel client). Both FoxPro .exe, .prg and database/index files reside on the shared disk, and the client only maps a shared drive and starts the FoxPro application from there. Due to some

Hi, I?ve recently migrated to a Samba3 server and everything seems to be running well apart from a problem with some users that run macros in MS Access. I?m told that a process which used to take 15min on the old W2K server took over an hour on the new samba box. After having a scan through the archives I think the problem may be related to oplocks/locking but I?m pretty sure I?ve got these

Hi ! I have an unique situation. An SCO Unixware 7.1.3 with Samba 2.2.7a (yes, i know; it sucks !) On the machine, is running MS Foxpro 2.6 for UNIX (it's running pretty well for several years) but due to new demands (like Crystal Reports, Visual view; etc) the directories with DBF files were shared using Samba. At the beginning, when everything was only about reading, there were no

Helo, We use a big fileserver running Linux/Samba as fileshare. We are facing performances problems for which we'd like some advise : Clients are OS2(LanManager) and windows 2000 reading and writing lots of files in the same directory on the fileshare. We currently have more than 80 000 files in the directory (files size is about 100 Bytes). Could you please advise us some Samba tuning

Hello for all ! We use a samba server 2.2.1a with conectiva 7 [ kernel 2.4.18] and have the most important system of enterprise in clipper. In begin we have many problems with index corruption and clipper system freezes Then we turned off oplocks and level2oplocks and found peace. But sometimes the system until freeze in one station and this freeze others stations too. When clipper system is

Hi! anyone knows where to get some info for kernel (maybe via sysctl) and or samba tuning for high performance ? I have read all the samba docs available, so aim looking for others tips besides the tcp tunings usually applied in smb.conf ? i am setting a server on a client site, with many clients (about 100), and i am using a real server hardware (an HP netserver with xeon procesor@2.8Ghz, 1Gig of

Hi List, Second attempt to get this issue diagnosed and solved. Samba Version 3.0.28el4 CentOS 4.7 The behavior is as follows when accessing Fox Pro dbf files. Users can access the files through the Fox Pro command interface without issues,when they choose a graphical environment (windows explore of the windows file open gui) the system returns an access denied message on the first

I actually find Samba a very kewl server app so the subject isn't coming from someone that has a preference for Netware over samba. My issue is actually two-fold, one being the record locking problems in Samba and the other being the slowness of dos apps in samba. I'm not going to post any log messages here as I don't feel that for this post they're really very relevant.

I am seeing some extremely slow logons to my SUSE servers. All are configured exactly the same. When I attempt to log on, I can enter my domain (AD) account without any problems. I then enter my password and sit and wait for several minutes until it eventually takes me to my desktop. In attempting to debug the problem, we have been able to see millions of calls to the domain controller. They
