Greetings, About 2 months ago, we decided to backup our Oracle test servers via samba rather than nfs -- the backups were just taking too long using nfs. No problem mounting the remote file share to the server and the backup took about one-third of the time. Yep, worked good...and still continues to out perform nfs hands down. Problem is - I'm receiving errors on both of the test servers.

Has anyone else seen these? smb_proc_readdir_long: name=, entries=117, rcls=1, err=123 smb_refill_dircache: readdir failed, result=-2 I get them when trying to read a particular directory from a NT4 SP4 (?) server. % /bin/ls -alF foo total 0 % The directory in question has 718 files, all with rather long names. This is on a Linux 2.2.12 patched with my smbfs-nls-filename patch. I'd like to

Hi All: When I use samfs, sometimes I got the following messages, Mr. Google says this is because the windows client use the share, and the connection is "reconnected"! Does it right? How to ward off the error? Is there any potential problem if I ignore it? My actions are smbmount and smbumount some shares. Sometimes some shares are smbumount before they mounted (thus cause a

Hi there. I'm having a very odd problem with samba. I have a Mandrake 7.2 linux distro, though I've compiled a 2.4.2 kernel for it (with samba support compiled in - not a module), and I've also compiled Samba 2.0.7. When I mount shares from my win98 machines, if I try to list a large directory or open a large file, the terminal freezes. I'm able to log in another, but if I

On additional note, I was able to use filler directories to circumvent the problem. This works for me since it is archives, but wouldn't for most. Here is an example: No filler files: ls -l - Returns no files Filler file at top of the directory structure (00_SAMBA) ls -l - Returns directories 0-D and N-Z Filler files the top of directory structure and where D's stoped (00_SAMBA and

I earlier this week upgraded from Debian woody to sarge on a machine that does a nightly backup to another machine via a samba share. Since then I have had some issues with accessing that share with I believe are a result of the upgrade. I upgraded the kernel at the same time to 2.4.27-1-686 #1 via apt-get, which might be the related to the problem. Smbfs is version 3.0.6-3

Hi all I'm using Samba version 3.0623 on my rhel3 with kernel 2.4.21 I mounted a windows partition with the command "smbmount".

Hello, We are getting a baffling problem with a samba mounted drive on Redhat, mounted from a windows box. We cannot always see files in the mounted directory with ls or perl. The directory has 237 files in it. We sometimes see 197 files with ls. Sometimes we see nothing. This can happen from one try to the next (i.e. run ls, see the files, immediately run ls again and see nothing). We have
