dear samba list members, I recently installed RedHat 8.0 with samba 2.2.7 (already updated, was 2.2.5 before I think, but with the same problem). now I have the problem, that overwriting of files on shares of that samba machine sometimes is extremely slow. writing new files is fast as ever. but what seems interesting to me is, that it depends on how I'm overwriting files. for example I'm working with homesite 5, which needs up to 15sec to overwrite a simple html file. ultraedit(a text editor) on the other hand has no problems with overwriting. an other example: copying files with windows commander (now: total commander) is extremely slow too if I'm copying files that already exist on the target network drive. on the other hand, if I copy a file in windows commander with ctrl-C and then paste it on the samba share with ctrl-V, it's fast, no problem! has anyone already experienced (and solved) this problem? any help is very much appreciated! oliver ps: my smb.conf settings are below. #======================= Global Settings ====================================[global] workgroup = LAN server string = Lobo hosts allow = 10.0. printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = no printing = lprng log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = domain password server = JACK encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = No passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd: pam password change = yes obey pam restrictions = yes socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = 10.0.0.5/16 dns proxy = no #============================ Share Definitions =============================[homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S create mode = 0664 directory mode = 0775 [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no # Set public = yes to allow user 'guest account' to print guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes [www] comment = document root path = /www public = yes writable = yes printable = no create mask = 0755 force user = www [root] comment = / on %h path = / public = yes writeable = yes valid users = oliver force user = root create mask = 0755 -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ NEU: Mit GMX ins Internet.
