Excuse my ignorance please, and the simple nature of this questions...but would someone explain to me the difference between the "create mode" and "force create mode" parameters in the smb.conf file? When would "create mode" *not* be forced? Thanks! Matthew

Hi all! I have recently installed samba-3.0.2a-1 on my RedHat 9.0, Kernel 2.4.20-8 box. The box has a 300GB RAID5 array, 4GB of memory, and dual 2.4Ghz P4 processors with hyper threading enabled. When I copy a massive amount of files (~50GB) to the Samba server from a Windows 2K client, somewhere during that process (seemingly around 2 hours into the copy each time), my Linux box COMPLETELY

Forgive my ignorance, but I keep reading about this smbtorture utility and I can't find it anywhere! It doesn't *seem* to come with Samba. Where can I find this binary? Thanks! Matthew

We have moved our 3rd-party multiuser billing system database files from Novell NetWare to Samba (first 2.2.8a, and now, just last Friday evening, upgraded to 3.0.2a) on Mandrake Linux 9.2 (kernel version 2.4). Now, about once every week or so, we get a file corruption, and last week (even after upgrading some NICs) seemed to be even worse, with 5 or 6 problems. Because we had no problems before

Hi! I have a problem with Samba. I have post to the mailing list but have gotten no results. Any help would be appreciated: I have a RedHat Linux box running Samba 2.2.5.

>could you do a closer look at your smbd (maybe with truss or strace) >to see what exactly happens? Hi Chris. Do you mind if I butt in on this thread?
