[Samba] Samba 3.0.12pre1 Available for Download
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.12 code base and is provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for production servers. However, there have been several bug fixes and new features added since 3.0.11 that we feel are important to make available to the Samba community for wider testing. Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12pre1 include: ~ o Winbind failures when using 'disable netbios = yes' ~ o Failure to establish a trust relationship via 'net rpc ~ trust establish' ~ o Various portability & compiler issues. ~ o Read only file deletion failure caused by new delete ~ semantics in Windows XP SP2 and the MS 04-044 security ~ hotfix. Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12pre1: ~ o Performance enhancements when serving directories ~ containing large number of files. ~ o MS-DFS support added to smbclient. ~ o More performance improvements when using Samba/OpenLDAP ~ based DC's via the 'ldapsam:trusted=yes' option. Large Directory Support - ----------------------- Samba 3.0.12pre1 introduces a specific mechanism for dealing with file services that frequently contain a large number of files per directory. Historically Samba's performance has suffered in such environments due to the translation from case insensitive lookups by Windows client to the case sensitive storage mechanisms used by UNIX filesystems. Configuration details along with a short HOWTO can be found at: http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/HOWTO/Samba-LargeDirectory-HOWTO Download Details - ---------------- The uncompressed tarball and patch file have been signed using GnuPG (ID F17F9772).

Dare I ask about the performance enhancements? Does it include listing *all* of the files in a directory with a large number of files? See bug 2271. If the new release might fix the problem, I'll give it a try. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2271 "Gerald (Jerry) Carter" <jerry@samba.org> writes:> Additional features introduced in Samba 3.0.12pre1: > > ~ o Performance enhancements when serving directories > ~ containing large number of files.-- Kevin Dalley kevin@kelphead.org
