Hi May I ask for help with this again please? I’m trying to ensure that Samba writes its wins.dat file to tmpfs. I have added these mount commands to /etc/init.d/samba: case $1 in start) mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /var/run/samba mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /var/cache/samba /etc/init.d/nmbd start /etc/init.d/smbd start

In /varcache/samba/ I have several .tdb files. Like brlock.tdb, locking.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb, etc. Excusing my ignorance, what are these files, and what do they do? And why must they be copied when migrating from one samba server to a new one?

...gs about systemd, so if some sees things that needs to be corrected please tell us. To remember! Files in /etc/tmpfiles.d override files with the same name in /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d so knowing this .. cp /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf /etc/tmpfiles.d/samba.conf and add to this file d /run/samba/varcache 0755 root root - d /run/samba/varlib 0755 root root - This solves the problem of the needed tmpfs folders Now you problely also want to backup the content of these when stopping samba and put it back when you start samba. This might be bit faultly, and may need corrections. Create the samba2...
