similar to: Directory with large number of files

Hello all, This is a follow-up to my post a few weeks ago about poor performance when serving files from a directory with a large number of files (in this case over 600 000 files). I traced this down to two places in the code: 1) The trans2 routine get_lanman2_dir_entry loops through the entire directory looking for possible matches. I can see why this is the best idea for the general case

Hello, I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing I can do about it). When I do a listing of that directory using smbclient, it takes 15+ seconds to complete, same thing on Windows XP. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can speed this up? I did a log on log level 10, it is accessible at

Hi all, I am running a samba server (2.0.3) in a small eth-based home network. There is only one win client (NT workstation, Sp4). The samba box ist set up with wins support enabled and the NT box? wins server entry points to samba server. Everything works fine: no error messages neither server nor client. The server shows up immediately in the NT?s network neigborhood. Browsing is fast. !!But

Hi all, I increased the log level, and found something very interesting out. I know now what causes a sbmd to go into infinite hibernation on Solaris. I do not know why, it is probably something Solaris specific, I thought that a "dont descend" would have resolved my problem, but it has not. details at the end. Scenerio: solaris 2.5.1 running samba 2.0.0 (happens w/ several if not

Hello All, I'm having problems accessing getting a directory listing from samba(3.0.23d) with win xp clients. I can mount a share from win xp, create a directory, create a file, edit the file, etc. But listing the directory contents is fickle. If its a very small directory things appear to work fine. But a directory with around 30 files seems to hang and eventually returns "File Not

I'm having a problem with files locking so that every time the are opened up they are opened as Read-Only. Windows doesn't see them as readonly but Samba thinks that they are write=no and so they can't be saved or deleted. I've included a log, my smb.conf, and a getfacl of a user's home directory as well as a getfacl of the directory from /home. Any help would be

I need to establish a connection with a Windows host (Windows 7) via smbclient (from ubuntu linux), to run a script which needs to get some file informations (eg. size, version, etc..). Connection and authentication works perfectly. From linux, i can execute the following command: smb: \> allinfo test.txt altname: test.txt create_time: Thu 01 Jul 2010 11:06:30 AM CEST CEST access_time:

I see *things* happening here. XP. Trying to access \\host\sharea. works fine \\host\shareb - pops up password window shares a and ba may vary between reboots.

Hi folks, I'm setting up a new samba box (Redhat ES 4.0, with Rehat samba-3.0.10-1.4E.9) to replace a proprietry OS X version that's been running home directories for our school staff - we've previously used local accounts and groups on the OS X server rather than the AD accounts all our staff have; one of the key goals in moving to a new system was to allow users to logon without

I am in the habit of syncing my /usr/local tree over several computers (all Mac OS X). Recently my /usr/local tree has doubled in size, from 300,000 files to 600,000 files because I have added a large subversion checkout (TeX Live). As a result, rsync has become a time hog. Instead of a minute or two or so to calculate what needs to be sent over, suddenly this process takes 18-20 minutes,

Hi, I have encountered some strange behaviour after upgrading to 3.0.12 on FreeBSD 4.10 file servers. Normally when users on windows apps use the file browser to select a file it remembers the selected directory between invocations, so that, for example, they can easily read in multiple files from the same directory, or if they click on Save As... it takes them to the directory where they

Here's my setup: Caldera Open Linux Lite (kernel 2.0.29) Samba 2.0.4a Windows Domain (Two Windows NT 4.0 Servers -- one PDC, one BDC -- and numerous Windows NT 4.0 Workstations) I can see my Linux box in Network Neighborhood on my Windows NT boxes. I can open the Linux box and see the top level shares available. When I try to open a share I see one or two anonymous folders. Anyone

Hello, all. I am the proud owner of a D360 and a D380, both running HPUX 11. I would love to be able to run SAMBA on them, but the compile simply blows up. I'm trying to figure out what's going on there, but has anyone succeeded in getting SAMBA to run under HPUX 11? Thanks, Richard A.

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Hello list, I have problems displaying certain UNIX-files in samba. For example if I have a file named like this: ABNAHMELEHRE??????,PP272140019???,*,??,?,Z,?000,IBK,Y414019253751.model or BAUTEIL ,A21133321?2202,*, , ,Z, 000,IBK,F633302719552.model samba shows dos-like names as follow: Abnah~2s.mod and Baute~1m.mod Is there any way in telling samba to display

Hi all, I've included copies of the relavent files below. I'm having a bit of a problem with Samba in that when I try to access files on its shared resources, I can browse to the shares fine, but the moment I try to open a file, the client's file browser hangs. I've verified that this is a problem on both my Mac (OS X 10.3.4), my Windows XP SP2 and WIndows XP SP1 machines. I'm

I have been running a public MySQL server for over 4 years. The system was a 1GHz box with 256MB of RAM. MySQL puts each database into a seperate directory in a single "data" directory. Once the old system reached about 10K databases the connection times increased 10X or more. I attributed the speed problems to a possible filesystem limitation with a large number of files. That
