I am writing the files from an NT (WinNT server 4.0 sp4) machine using
windows explorer. The files are mostly small files (html and images).
I just noticed that in the system log of the NT machine lots of warning
messages appear saying "A write-behind operation has failed to the
remote server %2. The data contains the amount requested to write and the
amount actually written.
My smb.conf follows:
[global]
workgroup = xxx
server string = Samba Server
load printers = yes
hosts allow = xxx.xxx.xxx.
log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m
max log size = 50
security = domain
password server = xxxx
encrypt passwords = yes
local master = no
os level = 0
domain master = no
preferred master = no
wins support = yes
dns proxy = no
username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writable = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /usr/spool/samba
browseable = no
# Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print
guest ok = no
writable = no
printable = yes
[htdocs]
path = /usr/local/apache/share/htdocs
public = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0764
directory mask = 0775
[textos_hoje]
path=/usr/users/gerador/textos_hoje
public = no
writable = yes
create mask = 0766
directory mask = 0777
