similar to: Directory with large number of files (follow-up)

Hello all, I am trying to use Samba to replace an NT server that serves a directory with over 600,000 (yes over 1/2 million) files, with little success. As far as I can tell this is what is happening: Samba receives a request to open a file (say 12345678.doc), to find this file it spins through the directory, comparing file names and seeing if each file matches (doing an exact match and an 8.3

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.

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

In a directory with approximately 6000 files, several files are missing on the Windows side. If I check the directory on Unix (AIX) they are all there. As far as I can see there's nothing strange with this files en I can't see any connection between the missing files. It looks like it's randomly. A few examples of missing files: FAKTREF.10062005.16 (See debug information)

What is the intended implementation of "don't descend". a) treat all files that are in the "don't descend hierarchy as "no such file" (or equivelent) or b) disable opendir() on "don't descent directories", but allow (for example) stats on files that are in the "don't descend directories" I would have expected the 1st. Sambe

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

I'm using samba 3.0.25a on a Solaris 9 box with separate W2K and XP clients accessing a share. The issue I'm having is that not all files appear in folder listings via Explorer/DOS windows on the XP client. This only happens when an app on the W2K side is simulateously accessing/creating files on the same share but not neccessarily in the same folder. I've since run samba in top

Jeremy, I think we found the part of source where the problem resides: smbd/trans2.c +1444 for (i=0;(i<maxentries) && !finished && !out_of_space;i++) { +1445 BOOL got_exact_match = False; +1446 +1447 /* this is a heuristic to avoid seeking the dirptr except when +1448 absolutely necessary. It allows for

Hi people, I have a problem and I need so much of your help. I have a login script in \\server1\netlogon\script.bat (on my PDC and BDC) that runs "net use" commands to map some shares in time of the logon. This login tries to map share in another server (samba member of domain \\server2). So, I put the result at a log and appears these lines: " System error 1311 has occurred.

Hi, I'm trying to set up msdfs on FreeBSD 4.10 with samba 3.08. The clients I use are WinXp (sp1) and the desktop browser on RedHat ES3. Problems described beneath are identical for both clients. I tried to follow the howto as precisely as possible to not into problems, however, I did... In /export/dfsroot I made a link msdfs:strsvr01\part0 . I made sure everything is in lower case.

Hi, I moved a disk with ext2fs from a Linux box (SuSE) into my FreeBSD6.2 box. Some directories on that disk are shared to my Windows boxes via v3.0.26a (according to smbd -V). A couple of directories contain a large number of files (hundreds to thousands). The list of files is incomplete using Windows clients or smbclient on FreeBSD. If I copy the directories to a disk using ufs, the file

I'm having problems with one share. It's mounting a directory on an isilon over NFS. I've re-created the setup on the same machine where the data is and that works fine, it's just the existing share gives trouble. I can create a file, but not rename and sometimes not delete. Also saving file from say photoshop result in two empty files being created one with the proper filename
