We are having a problem getting a NetApp filer to re-join a samba domain after a move to a new network. The filer worked fine with samba before the move. Apologies in advance for the long missive. I've tried the following: - re-running the CIFS setup program on the filer - removing the problem filer's samba account, replacing it, and re-running the setup program on the filer

Hi! I've been struggling with this install of Samba 2.0.4b on Linux/x86 2.0.36. All of the client machines run Windows NT 4, SP 3. I'm exporting /tmp as pub, and if I right click in the folder and create a new folder, it doesn't show up until I go to 'view' and 'refresh'. If I delete something, it doesn't go away until I refresh. Why? Output of testparm:

Good ${time of the day} I have just been wondering if anyone would know if Samba is compatible with the CIFS implementation of the Network Appliance DataONTAP filers? http://www.netapp.com/products/filer/ontap.html I have so far unable to connect to any shared folder on the NetApp filer that require authentication. An attempt to access or list shared resources on the NetApp filer fails with the

We are running scripts using smbclient to get some data of NetAPP filer and we run into the output below. After doing some digging, I found that there is a incompatibility between NetAPP Data ONTAP OS and samba. Is this still the case or there is a fix for it. We are running 3.0.10 Any ideas would be great George Client started (version 3.0.10). Connecting to 169.177.18.109 at port 445

Hi, We have SAMBA 3.0.33 running on RedHat 5. We are sharing home directories to users via Samba using the [homes] share. The home directories reside on a Netapp filer, (actually multiple), and are accessed by the Samba server over NFS. When users try to open a Microsoft Excel file from a Windows XP SP3

I'm newbies in SAMBA and NetApp filer , I use Filer with OpenLDAP as an authentication and authorization server , but look like NetApp doesn't work properly ( can't authentication ) , NetApp engineer suggest me that NetApp work properly with pure ActiveDirectory Environment. not SAMBA + OpenLDAP backend like me have. so I solve this problem by make Samba as native PDC and use

Hello Anyone has succeeded to use a Samba PDC erver as a PDC from a Netapp filer to use CIFS direct connections ? ? Any infos welcome ! Thanks a lot.

Hello I have troubles with some shares that are NFS mounted to a Netapp filer, if I enable locking on that share, the file cannot be opened by the windows client in write mode ( read only after a looong time ) Anyone has the same problem , it seems to be a Netapp bug but they do not support samba at all :-) so I don't expect any answer from them. thanks

Hello, I'll soon have to migrate our samba shares to a netapp filer (not my decision). Currently the shares are on an xfs filesystem and served by samba 3.5.2, which is also the domain controller (a role that it will maintain, only the shares are being transferred) and sama/unix users are in ldap. The filer is in the domain and uses ldap to map user ids and that seems to work. Samba maps the

Hi list, Due to possible budget cuts, I am looking at finding alternatives to the Netapp filers we currently have. Obviously, one of the key drivers is the performance required for our specific application. On https://www.fotoloog.org/fs.png you can see the load on our main filer. The key question I have is: looking at that graph, do you think it is worthwhile looking into Samba further as a

My setup is fairly straight forward; I have a Solaris 10 (SPARC) being used as a samba server with AD sign on. Users can log in fine and map their directories through windows clients. All the user home dirs and critical project dirs are on a NetAPP filer. When user tries to write a file, it is erroring out with I/O error, file access is permitted for read operations only. Investigating the

Hi ! Siemens is migrating away from Windows fileservers to Netapp Filers. First I thought great thats cool get rid of some more MS boxes... But now I face troubles connecting to the shares on the filers. Our support states a cite from netapp as: "samba is not compliant with the specs" Could anyone suply me with ammunition to counter that or knows why the netapp does not allow to

Hi, we are testing a new AD domain that will replace our old NT4 one, and we are setting up a new cifs vserver of our Netapp filer (running Clustered Dataontap 9.2). The new AD domain was a clean deployment created using "samba-tool domain provision --server-role=dc --use-rfc2307 ...". All seems to work well and the Netapp filer joins the domain without errors and seems to run fine.

Hi, I'm using samba-3.2.6 on linux. Using this, I'm trying to update/modify Last Access Time(atime) of a file on CIFS share(on NetApp Filer). But not able to do so. I could successfully update atimes on windows server, but NOT on NetApp Filer. Is SET_PATH_INFO supported by NetApp filer(7.2 version)? Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks, -Kishore

Greetings - I've just discovered an oddity I didn't know I had... We have two NetApp filers: one serves people's home directories; the other their message store and control files filestores. At the moment the first of the two filers is not accessible to my Dovecot system and I assumed all would be well because, as far as I knew, I wasn't using it at all. However in

Hello Maybe someone could direct us to right solution with the problem descibed below. We tried different trick bo no success stories.

A basics OS is Debian Squeeze with some backports packages

NT 4.0 workstation users are complaining that all of their drive letters are getting used up by what appears to be a rampant network-drive mapping situation. For example, normally I have three shares network-mapped. Lately, ceetain people are complaining that one of their shares get's remapped a number of times to take up all the drive letters (except drive letter Z). So suddenly they
