similar to: error code 0: in smbtar/smbclient

I am having trouble using tar (or gtar) to recover files built using smbtar and smbclient (v2.0.4b). The files are loaded on an exabtye tape - the script runs on a Sun/Solaris-7 box and the files being tar'd are on an NT box (v4sp5). There are no error messages when the tape is built, but when I try to read it tar will just stop about 1/3 of the way in (total size is about 850MB). After

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

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.

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

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.

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

I install Samba 2.0.7 on my HP 715-80 running HPUX 10.20. The HP server and two PC's are connected on a local LAN.

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): eval

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?

Basically something like: smbclient '\server\share' -E -N -Tc - | gzip > test.tar.gz However I have a problem with smbclient tarring to

Hi, I've looked through the samba archives, and saw no messages related to this. Is there a way to get smbtar to tar long filenames? When I restore the files, they're all cut down to 8.3 format. smbclient does see the long filenames of an NetBui drive, why doesn't smbtar? Thanks. Gabe
