Hi-- Last night I shut down my network for the thunderstorms going through the area, and unplugged it all. When I booted up this morning, I had no Win95 connection to my samba server. My setup: Ubuntu 6.06 server, running samba 3.0.22. 3 Ubuntu workstations, 1 WinXP Pro, 2 Win95 boxes. The Ubuntu boxes mount the same directories as the Win boxes, using cifs. What I have tried: checking log

Hi-- About 10 days ago I switched from a Red Hat 9.0 machine as my Samba server to Ubuntu. Ever since, things have been slow. How do I mean, slow? 1st clue: previously, when I saved docs in OOo Writer, I would go ctrl-S and once every 4th or 5th time it would say it couldn't create a backup; now it is every time. So to save I have to go ctrl-S esc esc ctrl-S. 2nd clue: WinXP on login to

Just upgraded Saturday from Ubuntu 7.10 to 8.04.01. File locking in Samba is now broken, meaning two different users can have the same file open at the same time and edit it. Server is RedHat 9.0 running Samba 2.2.7a-security-rollup-fix. This has been working well for us for several years. Have one WinXP box accessing the server using OOo 2.0. Have another couple of Win95 boxes. In addition,

Hi All I have a Linksys NSLU2 device which is used to hook USB2 drives upto my network as network attached storage. The Linksys firmware upgrade for this device includes samba 3.0.11 which is a non-starter regarding OS/2 connectivity. There is an alternative firmware based on the Linksys firmware called Unslung from http://www.nslu2-linux.org/ The Unslung firmware allows

Hi-- We are in a production environment with one WinXP box and several linux boxes. We have discovered that the WinXP and linux boxes seem to respect each other's file locks, but that the linux boxes do not respect each other's locks. In other words, box 1 can have a file open, and at the same time box 2 can open it and edit and save the file. We have smb.conf set with level2 oplocks

I have Time precision problem between linux samba shares and M$ files I want to use my tux to save files from my M$ PC's. Of course I want to do incrementals copy based on modification date... I mount my samba shares from my Windows Boxs and use tools on the micro$oft boxs. (Xcopy /D or SyncroniX ) The problem is that the modification date on the samba share and on de source file on the M$

I'm trying to do some quick backups from a Win2K laptop to a Fedora Core 1 desktop but it ain't working. The backups are just a bunch of xcopy's. Most of them run fine but two fail and I don't understand why. It appears that xcopy is attempting to create directories in both cases. When I run the backup targeting a Win98 desktop there is no problem. Here are two examples of

Hi! I've been using samba for some time now with about 20 users and with remote installation of Windows XP from dos (TFTPboot image with dos network drivers - ms client 1.6c). On all releases (up to, and including 2.2.5) a recursive xcopy (from dos) copied all files normally. When I upgraded to samba 2.2.6, the recursive xcopy (win98 version of xcopy.exe, copying from a mapped drive)

Hi, I have a very simply batch file that simply copies a 300M file to a SAMBA volume but the job fails if run via the NT scheduler. Manually running the batch file (ie double clicking in the file manager) works fine as does changing the destination to another "real" NT Share. The problems only occurs on SAMBA volumes and not when using another share from another NT. The batch file

The Wine development release 3.12 is now available. What's new in this release (see below for details): - Unicode data updated to Unicode 11.0.0. - Proxy configuration dialog in the Internet control panel. - Syntax fixes in the Cmd.exe command intepreter. - Some more glyphs in the Wingdings font. - Various bug fixes. The source is available from the following locations:

A problem has arisen with the way samba handles file creation dates compared to NT/win2k, which prevents xcopy /d from working correctly. On NT/Win2k, files copied from another NT machine using xcopy end up with the modified dates equal to the original modified date of the file, and the created and accessed dates become the date of the xcopy operation. On Samba, files copied from an NT

I had a simular problem in a single server (unix) environment with PC clients although we were using NFS stack for drive maps. The issue is came down to this: a MS-DOS pathspec cannot exceed 64 characters, with the pathspec looking something like 'server_name:\directory\dir...\...\filename.ext". Your NT and Samba systems are probably selected a SMB protocol like Core Plus or LAN Man 1.0,

I fear this is yet another thread that will remain unanswered, but as you can tell from the subject line there's a twist. Basically I am doing an XCOPY from my XP machine to my Linux box running samba 3.0.22. Everything works, but it's very slow for the Gigabit Ethernet it's running on compared with FTP to the same machine and directory with the same files, say 1/10th the speed. So

Right in the middle of a big XCopy from Win2K SP3 to Samba 3.0.8 I get an "Access Denied" kicked back from XCopy and it ends. XCopy is building dirs from scratch on the Samba server - starting for a clean empty share. XFS FS on the server, Debian Sarge. I've heard of odd things with RoboCopy, but what about XCopy doing this? I suppose I will be cranking up the logs... or is there

Hi I had sent a mail about a week ago regarding a xcopy problem I had. I am trying to copy an image of an nt workstation from an unixware 2.1.3 server running samba 1.9.18p8. Initially the client is a dos client, who connects to the unixware server and downloads files using xcopy. My problem after copying a certain number of files xcopy fails with path not found. On further investigation I

Thanks to all that have helped so far. I now have a test server running on Ubuntu 6.06 and Samba 3.0.22. I also configured ACL and user_xattr on the filesystem running the shares. But now I have very strange behavior that I hope someone has a clue about. User smith can open two files (foo.txt and faa.txt) with Notepad, Wordpad and Microsoft Word. The behavior for all three is different:

What is the best way to backup my NT 4.0 Server box that is only 8GB to my NEW SAMBA file server that I have added to the domain? Xcopy? Smbclient? Robocopy? DD command in Linux? I found some good info. on Google about Robocopy that is supposed to be great and will paste the information below. Also, can someone SEND me the latest copy of ROBOCOPY VERSION 1.92 please. I have a really old

Hi, I appologise if this totally irritates people as there seems to be quite a lot of info about this issue but a lot of it is quite old, for samba 2.x and kernels around 2.0 also. I have been beating my head against it for a little while - bumped into a dead end now ;( I am running centos-3 x86_64 (RH ES equiv) with samba 3.0.7-1 as the server, and OS2 as the client. Kernel is 2.4.21-20.EL.
