Hi, We are having a problem with smbclient running tar back to a FreeBSD system for Amanda. smbclient seems to be choking on large files. Of the many singularly uninformative error messages, the primary error* is "invalid mid from server" Searching all FAQ's and news groups shows this has been a problem for several users since 8/2000 with no published response from anyone except a

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. I can map network, move files, etc. However, when I try to use smbtar I get an error. The unix server is hobbs, the two PC's are calvin and marmaduke. The C: drive on calvin is named drive_c and set for share r/w. I can use tar from the cmd line on the unix 'puter to

Hi, I'm having a problem with Samba (which is strange because I don't usually have any problems with Samba). I have the following directories on a Windows NT 4.0 server, as I see them from my SuSE Linux 6.3 box with Samba 2.0.7 (self-compiled). Both the Linux and Windows box are the English versions, however we're using Portuguese language filenames. .

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. For example, I have a directory C:\Acrobat3, with various subdirectories. With smbclient I can see and browse them just fine: smb: \> cd Acrobat3 smb: \Acrobat3\> dir . D 0 Wed Aug 19

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

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

Hello everybody, I'm using Samba Version 1.9.17p3 on an IRIX 6.2-based workstation and because I still have the same problem with the shares on the PC-box (I'll send my report to samba-bugs too), I need workaround in order to get the smbtar process running. Here's my problem (I hope it's not too long): I can see what's being shared by the Win95 box where I want to make the

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?

Ernie, Thanks for the great info.. Based on what you were seeing, would you suspect that part of the problem is with the combination of NT and the 3com card (3c595)? Currently, we are ONLY seeing this under NT Workstation (not server) and almost all of our machines have this same 3com 3c595 card (only if using 100BaseT).. -- Rick -----Original Message----- From: Ernie Oporto

I was using smbtar to test backing up an NT server, everything works fine except that for quite a lot of the files it has an error downloading them(probably 2/3 of them actually). All it says is : Error reading file \dir\dir\file. Got 0 bytes Didn't get entire file. size=533, nread=0 I could see this happening if the file were opened exclusively such as the paging file, but to my knowledge

Hi I am using Samba 2.0.6 on a SUN SPARC Solaris 2.6 machine. I compiled Samba using SUN cc with CFLAGS of "-fast". All the remaining configure parameters were left unspecified. I have been trying to use Samba to backup a nerwork of PCs onto the UNIX box. Each PC has a shared network drive, and the user issues an smbtar or smbclient backup command. eg. % smbclient //dcmbpc/C
