Hi:
We have a network of Unix (Solaris 2.6) and windows 95 machines. We
currently run samba v1.9.18p10 on one of the unix machines to share
user's home directories, and a common directory for projects
(/doc). Our Win95 machines work fine when it comes to accessing the
unix machine's data.
We recently added an NT 3.51 machine (running Citrix WinFrame, fyi) to
the network. Using the File Manager, we added two network drives: A
for the home directory, and B for doc. When users log in, they map to
their home directories properly, they can browse normally. The same
goes for the doc directory.
However, when a user attempts to load or save a file from their home
directory, it often takes an inordinate amount of time to bring the
file into the application (Word, for example). Sometimes 3-4 minutes
to load a 20K file. The problem is not server load or network
congestion. Loading/saving files locally to the NT machine happens at
normal speed. Interestingly, often after a file loads very slowly
from a user's home directory, subsequent loads and saves of the same
file will happen at a more reasonable speed. Also, we seem to have
random permission problems when attempting to save files to the doc
partition. (i.e. the user gets a permission denied or disk full error
when attempting to save). I've appended our smb.conf and testparm
dump.
thanks in advance for any assistance,
Marc Poulin
