Hello, I'm running Samba v3.0.14a on FreeBSD 5.4 and having a problem trying to backup a CDROM in a DVD drive using smbtar. Network layout is simple... 192.168.3.1 FBSD w/samba v3.0.14a 192.168.3.5 Windows XP Professional I have two shares on the WINXP machine: C:\temp shared as temp D: shared as CDROM Command is: smbtar -s PC1 -x "CDROM" -t /tmp/test PC1 is the WINXP machine. The smbtar command hangs when attempting to copy files from the DVD device, but works just fine if I use "temp" and copy files from the temp folder. If I mount the DVD device onto the FBSD machine using mount_smbfs, I can access the CDROM just fine and copy the files from the device. However, I'm curious if this is expected behaviour with smbtar(), if it's a bug with smbtar(), or if I'm just doing something wrong. Any info appreciated. Jon
