Possible long filenames problem with smbtar
Hi
I am using Samba 2.0.6 on a SUN SPARC Solaris 2.6 machine. I compiled
Samba using SUN cc with CFLAGS of "-fast". All the remaining configure
parameters were left unspecified.
I have been trying to use Samba to backup a nerwork of PCs onto the UNIX
box. Each PC has a shared network drive, and the user issues an smbtar or
smbclient backup command. eg.
% smbclient //dcmbpc/C

smbtar cannot recognize space character in filename
Hi. My friend has a problem that smbtar cannot recognize space character
in specified filenames. He tried to execute following command line
to back file "long file name" up:
$ smbtar -s SERVER -p PASSWORD -x SHARE -u username -t /tmp/backup.tar \
"long file name"
but smbtar tried to include three files as 'long', 'file' and 'name'. :-(

smbtar skips files, why?
Hello,
I'm using Samba version 1.9.18p10.
I am trying to backup a Win95 disk with smbtar, but it skips lots of files
without any apparant reason. For example, I have a directory C:\Acrobat3,
with various subdirectories. With smbclient I can see and browse them just
fine:
smb: \> cd Acrobat3
smb: \Acrobat3\> dir

smbtar: stdout & gzip
I need to zip the output of smbtar, but it seems to me that the tar extensions of smbclient don't support any zip option; if I'm wrong please tell me and stop further reading :)
I'm trying to pipe the output of smbclient/smbtar to gzip.
Basically something like:

However I have a problem with smbclient tarring to

Does smbtar have a size limit ?
Hello. I'm trying to use smbtar/smbclient (2.0.3) to copy
an NTFS share on an NT Server, onto a Solaris 2.5 system.
The NTFS partition is 10Gb. At the 2Gb mark, the tar stops.
No errors, the file just stops. The process (smbtar) returns.
Is this a problem with Solaris 2.5 ? I believe it is, and if
I upgrade to 2.6, I can create larger tar files. However, does
anyone know if

smbtar question?
Hi all,
I want to move a filesystem off of my NT server over to my Network
Appliance NFS server to then be shared via Samba. I assume the easiest
way to accomplish this would be to use smbtar. Do I then
use smbtar to extract the tar file I create with smbtar, or, can I use
gnutar? Does it matter? Am I safer sticking with smbtar?
I'm guessing that since smbtar is a wrapper around

Updated from 2.2.8a to 3.0b3 gives smbtar newer failure
Hi all,
Situation:
We use smbtar for backups, incrementals done using -N <last date file>,
and this has worked well with samba 2.2.x
After upgrading to 3.0b3, using the -N (newer) option to smbtar causes a
bad interaction with smbclient.
Eg,:
# smbtar -s PC -x Share -u User -p Pwd -d / -t - -N last-backup -v
gives (if you print out the eval at the end of smbtar script):

How to include system files with smbtar?
Hi,
I recently upgraded to 1.9.18p8, and noticed that smbtar no longer
automatically includes system files. I can't seem to find a way to include
the 'tarmode system' command in the smbtar shell script. If I add a -c
"tarmode system" to the $SMBCLIENT command line at the end of the smbtar
shell script, I get no tarred files at all.
Can anybody help me with this?

NT Crashes when doing large network file Xfers (was Re: NT crashes during smbtar)
Ernie,
Thanks for the great info.. Based on what you were seeing, would
you suspect that part of the problem is with the combination of NT
and the 3com card (3c595)? Currently, we are ONLY seeing this
under NT Workstation (not server) and almost all of our machines
have this same 3com 3c595 card (only if using 100BaseT)..

USTAR format in SMBTAR
We've been having problems using SMBTAR to back up some of our PCs. It
seems that the tar format used by SMBCLIENT only supports a 100 character
path name. Some of the new Microsoft Software generates longer file names.
This causes an error when you attempt to write these files out to the tar
device.
I have developed a patch that will cause SMBCLIENT to write these files in

smbtar help needed
I am attempting to pipe the output of smbtar into gzip in a script. The
problem that I have is that smbtar echo's out "Params count: 11" before
sending the information out to gzip. This causes the tar file to have a
"tar: directory checksum error" error. Is there any way I can get smbtar
not to report the Params count? The following is the command I am using.
