Hello, Although I've been using samba for years at my customers office, I recently moved one on a HP E60 server running RedHat 6.2. The samba version is 2.0.6, untouched from the distribution. They use a (weird) accounting software built on the top of FoxPro, requiring a *huge* amount of open files. I accordingly raised the values for files-nr and inode-nr and the stats seem ok. They have

It's generally a bad idea to import data via NFS and re-export it via Samba:

Dear Dave, Doesn't this only work if you're using samba as a domain controller and the client says "net use h: /home" I've not got it to redirect "//server1/username" to "//server2/username" when the NIS map says "user server2:/path/&" Though if it could be done I'd be VERY keen.

It's doable "below" Samba using the Samba VFS, by passing the start-point as part of a filename and having the VFS (which you'd have to write!) return the rest of the file. Say you were transferring

A moderately-frequently asked question is "why do automounted directories in shares disappear?" The old answers were: 1) they timed out and auto-un-mounted, and 2) you shouldn't re-export NFS-imported stuff anyway. A new answer (0) was just suggested by a Sun techie: add a "browse" option to the automounter map entry, to make them appear even when they're not

Oh, you already replied... Also you're on Solaris, so it's easier: you can email me truss and sar files. So, if I understand you correctly, the upgrade to Solaris 7 and 2.0.5a cut performance down noticeably. This is unexpected, as a colleague who does big benchmarks always checks out Samba against the old 1.9.18 version to make sure there hasn't been a reduction, and 2.0.7, at

Has anyone seen file corruption with Excel 97 SR1, on Samba? Scotty (scott@dork.com) is running 2.0.7 on SCO 5.0.4 on a Compaq Proliant 800, compiled on SCO 5.0.5 box.
