similar to: smbclient (1.9.18p3) dies or needs killing when used for backups (via Amanda)

At the bottom is what I got returned from AMANDA 2.3.0.5 after patching Samba 1.9.16p11 to give estimates. Any idea what I might not have done yet? My disklist reads: shokk \\thor\depot nocomp-user-gnutar To connect successfully to that server with smbclient, I have to do this, giving the same password that I now have in /etc/amandapass: smbclient \\\\THOR\\DEPOT -U BACKUP Also, the

Hi Folks, I want to use samba and amanda to backup NT/win file system. I downloaded the latest version of Samba and trying to install on bsdi4.0 and it complains that the OS is a "trapdoor" OS and will not work propperly. I installed it anyway and I can connect to NT no problem but when I connect it back to the unix box, it complains about "Bad password - name/password in a Tree

I am trying to setup my Sun running samba 1.9.18p10 so that it can backup my dept's PCs. I can get it to work manually using the smbclient command with no problem. What I would like to do is have a script that is able to take a list of PCs, determine if a PC is online, backup that PC, then move on to the next one. If a PC is down, it can report an error to the admin to state that the

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

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'. :-( Here is the

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 USTAR format (an

Hi, I have tried to run the ./configure on a HP-UX 10.2 server ( using cc ) and get no further than "Error No locking available. Running Samba would not be safe" From the summary.c program testing for fcntl locks ...... I notice that 10.2 binaries are available so, it must work ...

Ok.. I've tried tweaking several settings on Samba (1.9.18p4) in order to try to keep it from killing several machines that get backed up weekly via Amanda (using smbclient). What always appears to happen is that for one reason or another, Samba is booking along copying files and then all of a sudden NT stops communication and smbclient ends up hanging forever (regardless of the keepalive

Hello, I''m using kernel 3.1.0 and I have both / and /home as btrfs. I used suspend to ram quite often and never had a problem, but yesterday I''ve suspended to get into a plane and when I resumed my /home was all about input/output errors. Reboot did not help either. My root (/) did not suffer any problems. Today I''ve upgraded btrfs-progs to latest GIT and tried scrub

If it can''t get enough room for raid0 over all remaining disks, it

If I do this on a Solaris 8, x86: tar xzf samba-2.0.7.tar.gz cd samba-2.0.7 mkdir OBJ/somedir cd OBJ/somedir ../../configure --prefix=/usr/someplace and then: make it doesn't mkdir "bin" for me, making it compile all the way until it is about to link bin/smbd. The linker gives me a message about not being able to find "bin/smbd" which is kind of misleading. 8-( Anyway,

Hi there, I have a somewhat wide experience with samba. I've succesfully installed it as a client as well as a PDC on Windows networks. The last time, however, there has been an issue with the win9x stations. I've setup the Samba server over Linux to act as a PDC for the domain. I use dhcp to assign the network configuration to the hosts, and the only protocol installed on them is

For quite a while, I''ve experienced oddities with snapshotted Firefox _CACHE_00?_ files, whose checksums (and contents) would change after the btrfs snapshot was taken, and would even change depending on how the file was brought to memory (e.g., rsyncing it to backup storage vs checking its md5sum before or after the rsync). This only affected these cache files, so I didn''t give
