similar to: DFS root - slow writes

Hello list, I am trying to get a DFS share to work here, linking to a few Windows 2000, XP and NT machines. Using Samba 3.0.6 on Debian. I followed the instructions in chapter 17 of the official HOWTO collections and set it up like this: [global] ... netbios name = fileserver host msdfs = yes [dfs] path = /home/data/shares/postdfs valid users = @post force group = +post read only = No force

I'm trying to create a DFS root in my 2003 AD domain, and point it to a share hosted on a Samba server. From the documentation, I had assumed that this was supported (msdfs host = yes ?). Am I missing something basic? This is with Samba 3.0.31 on RHEL 5. When I go to create the DFS root (via the msc plugin) and instruct it to use my samba machine as the host, I get this error: "The

If a file is stored directly on a DFS enabled share, renaming fails with NT_STATUS_OBJECT_PATH_NOT_FOUND. The usecase may sound unusual, but a customer is using NetApp ONTAP 9, which by default advertises DFS capabilities for all shares, and he cannot disable it for policy reasons. I can also reproduce the issue with smbd and Windows Server 2012 R2 (haven't checked with other versions).

Hi list DFS Links in a separate share seems to work, but in the [homes] section does not. Is this a known problem? Samba is 3.0.26a. /etc/smb.conf excerpts: ---------------------------- 8< ---------------------------- [global] ... host msdfs = yes ... [homes] ... msdfs root = yes ... [dfstest] path = /data/dfsroot msdfs root = yes ---------------------------- 8<

If I only run dfs on my samba server, do I still need to worry about the mangle=hash buffer overlow and set "mangle method=hash2" on my older versions of samba? Thank-you, Greg

Hi, I have configured samba 3.0.2 as Dfs root but it seems smbd dont translate symlink to remote share name. All targeted shares are from testing workstation directly accessible. My config is: --- [global] debuglevel = 10 netbios name = SAMBAII workgroup = XAMBA security = user domain logons = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes local master = yes

I've been testing DFS roots and I'm finding that while Vista and 2008 Server clients can connect with no problems, Windows XP Pro and 2003 Server clients fail. This seems like it's the wrong way round - Samba usually has more difficulties with recent Windows versions than older ones - but I can only assume that there's some registry/policy change between the versions. If anybody

I've translated a Windows based DFS tree to a Samba based (3.0.23c) one and it seems to work quite well from Windows Explorer and cmd.exe. First off, I have a relatively big tree. grep dfscmd /root/dfs.cmd | wc -l 1614 One issue I've noticed that tree enumeration and manipulation from a Windows machine to a Samba based DFS root just doesn't work at all. For instance dfscmd.exe

In response to my original post under the heading "No files seen when mount[ing] DFS roots" I received one offlist response to the following effect: >It sounds like the smbfs Linux filesystem module does not handle MSDFS >links correctly. You might try the CIFS module avaliable at >http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/smbfs/ Before I assume this is the problem, I would

anyone having, had, or even have any thoughts on the issue described below? its killing me.... The short description of the problem is: using direct to server UNC type paths, we see 'normal' speeds. Going threw a DFS (re)director, we see very bad performance from any machine running 3.0.*, but not 2.2.3a. We make heavy use of DFS. This service is on a machine named

I have been looking into DFS (no R) with Samba and found the page https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS) and do have some questions: ?There is currently (July 2014) a discussion in the mailing list in which several users report great difficulties with domain-based DFS in samba 4, maybe related with the implementation of smb protocol version 3.? ? is this still true or has

Hi: I've got a samba/DFS server configured that works fine under it's original name, but I'm getting booted out of that DNS domain, into a subdomain. All my (WinXP) clients have drives mapped to names like \\server.domain.com\dfsroot. If I browse to the path, \\server.domain.com\dfsroot, everything works. I can access the shares pointed to via the dfs links But, now the network is

Hello, Our company currently stores its data on centralized samba servers which causes performance problems for remote office employees. We are thinking of decentralizing the data with NAS in each office and synchronizing all the NAS on our central domain controller with MSDFS. I have heard this can be done in real time with Windows and Active Directory.

Hi, I am trying to configure domain DFS (I think that's the correct term) as below, using the guide on the wiki: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Distributed_File_System_(DFS)#Configure_domain-based_DFS_in_Samba I am aware that the wiki says that this doesn't quite work... however it feels to me that it's very close, nearly working, and I might be able to get it going (hopefully?!)

Hi Kees, Thanks once more. To be precise: - you are running this on DCs? - no links required as on the wiki page? - "vfs objects = dfs_samba4, acl_xattr, full_audit" - I don?t have that in my smb.conf. What part(s) of this are default, required, or special? Thanks, Joachim -----Urspr?ngliche Nachricht----- Von: samba <samba-bounces at lists.samba.org> Im Auftrag von Kees van

Hello, i'm trying to figure out some specific things about Samba DFS. 1. What is the ordering method of a DFS Share with multiple servers (e.g. msdfs:serverB\\share,serverC\\share linkb ; Source: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/msdfs.html)? With a Microsoft DFS i have 3 options regarding the target. (Targets in a client's site are listed first in a

Does anybody know if it is possible to have a WIndows client access an existing DFS share. Based on what I have been able to determine so far. It appears that files can only be served to windows clients using nfs. Does anybody have any information on this? I''ve read through the wiki and didn''t see anything mentioning this. Additionally, my other searches on this topic has

Hi! My situation is that I configured samba with ldap authentication, I created shares and and after I created standalone dfs for these shares. (Everything is on the same server) I have a client debian with gnome and ldap authentication, so I can login on this machine with ldap users. My problem is, if I try to access dfs share with nautilus with the same user, with which I logged on the machine,
