[Samba] Win7 clients problem after upgrading samba file server to 4.12 on Arch
My plans are as follows, step by step: - clone the VM, clean and build the newest from gitlab, I can see it is 4.13.0pre1 - clone the VM. clean and build the latest supported 4.11.8 - create a new fresh VM with another distro, not Arch or Arch-based, build the official 4.12.2 - to check/confirm that it is not distro-related I will start playing in couple of hours, now I am at work...

Even if it is distro-related, the bisect between the two versions will be helpful.

[Samba] Win7 clients problem after upgrading samba file server to 4.12 on Arch
Hi Andrew et al, Now is the time to come back to my leisure... Preparing the environment to the 'git bisect' surgery: - Got a clone of the last VM with 4.12.2 installed from https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/samba-latest.tar.gz - Stopped smb/nmb services and uninstalled 'sudo make uninstall' within the directory 4.12.2. - Got the current master with 'git clone https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/' - it's version is 4.13.0pre1. - From inside the directory: './confugure', 'make' and 'sudo make install'. No issues. - Started smb/nmb services. No issues, as all configuration was adapted to different directories layout and missing packages installed during previous attempt. - # smbstatus --version Version 4.13.0pre1-GIT-f80c97cb8da Stubborn problems with multiple Win7 clients do persist, unfortunately. Now we have to move backwards till the last commit when it was working properly. We already know that 4.12.x is hopeless and we have to find last working commit within 4.11.x branch. For instance, the 4.11.3 - the last provided by Arch packagers - was working. But there were many other patches published by samba, the current one is 4.11.9. Would it be possible to perform 'git bisect' between different branches? Please give me some instructions as I am new in this school :) Regards, Pawel. wt., 5 maj 2020 o 11:50 Andrew Bartlett <abartlet at samba.org> napisa?(a):> On Tue, 2020-05-05 at 11:08 +0200, pavlos wrote: > > My plans are as follows, step by step: > > - clone the VM, clean and build the newest from gitlab, I can see it > > is 4.13.0pre1 > > - clone the VM. clean and build the latest supported 4.11.8 > > - create a new fresh VM with another distro, not Arch or Arch-based, > > build the official 4.12.2 - to check/confirm that it is not distro- > > related > > Thanks.
