similar to: People with applications needing directories containing large numbers of files.

Ok, second attempt now I'm sure the code is working :-). JohnT - if you want to turn this into a HOWTO or part of the book, be my guest. Remember it'll be in 3.0.12, not 3.0.11 or below. ----------------------------------------------------------- I've been working (inspired by James Peach of SGI) on the problem of using Samba3 with applications that need large numbers of files

Helo, We use a big fileserver running Linux/Samba as fileshare. We are facing performances problems for which we'd like some advise : Clients are OS2(LanManager) and windows 2000 reading and writing lots of files in the same directory on the fileshare. We currently have more than 80 000 files in the directory (files size is about 100 Bytes). Could you please advise us some Samba tuning

We have two SUSE SLES 9.0 x86-64 servers on gigabit network, one with RAID1 and samba 3.0.4, and one with RAID10 upgraded to samba 3.0.9. Both have the same problem: when you copy from server to client, speeds are on big files about 40MB/s for RAID1 and about 60MB/s for RAID10. But when you copy to server, speed are about 8MB/s. I have set up ftp servers on them just to try ftp protocol

Over the weekend I upgraded my IRIX servers to 3.0.13 and have found many strange issues regarding the creation of new folders. When I attempt to add a new folder through the Windows side I get an immediate error dialog box stating "You may not be able to access file created in the folder X:\New Folder." When I select to continue the folder is created, looking on the IRIX side the

Hi! I've been compiling Samba 3.0.x on a Solaris 2.6 server using GCC 3.4.1 without any problem until recently... The problem started with 3.0.12 version, and reproduced in 3.0.13. Doing "configure" and then "make" produces with these two versions VERY HUGE binaries! I'm talking about more than 50 Megabytes binaries in some cases... With 3.0.11 and before I had much

Thanks for the patch, unfortunately when I installed it I had a lot more files missing from the directory listing and I have not taken much time to look at why. But it certainly is the cast that off_t on the IRIX box is 8 bytes in the current OS, however the compilers seem to convert the long values properly so long as overflow does not occur. Thanks to your suggestion on looking at the

I have this same problem on 3.0.10, and I also "fixed" it by deleting the tdbs. My problem, had nothing to do with printing, it was happening once I started winbindd with security = ADS. Jerry, what would we need to do to track this bug down in the tdb code? I have logs at level 10, ltrace output, and a backtrace. Do you think that there were changes made to the tdb code in 3.0.12

Linux Samba 3.0.12 + acl (ext3) =============================== When upgrading from 3.0.11 to 3.0.12 ACL's do not seem get used anymore. We are using the inherit acls options for both maps and files. After the upgrade users are unable to create new files in directories where they used to have privileges for. The error returned is: "The file already exists. Do you want to

We are running with a little over 100GB of office data, and about 200GB misc other data shared to approximately 50 users using samba across two servers acting as PDC and BDC to Windows 2000 & XP Pro clients. Also using roaming profiles and ldap backend inclusive of nss_ldap and pam_ldap for the unix side - works well except for the more recent and horribly crippling MS Office bug. Tried

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Heads up everyone: Due to the win98 explorer bug (https://bugzilla.samba.org/bug/2501), we will be release 3.0.13 on Thursday morning, March 24 (GMT-6). So if you have any outstanding bugs in the 3.0.12 that we should know about, let us know now. Please file any defect reports at https://bugzilla.samba.org/. Thanks. cheers, jerry

Hi Guys, I have experienced an issue when the smbd stops responding, and after cannot kill the process, using SIGTERM or SIGKILL. A reboot cured the problem. I had the same problem once again a couple of days later. I realised that both times I had changed my smb.conf file directly, using vi, and shortly before the hang occured. The changes to the file were very minor, and the two were

Hi all I am running a Suse-9.1 distribution on a server and have been runnig samba from 3.0.4 up to 3.0.11 succesfully on the beast. I have got openldap 2.2.11 running and the server works as a PDC using the LDAP repository I always downloaded the sources compiled the stuff and off it went without any problems. Yesterday I compiled the 3.0.12 on the machine and when I fired it up I realized

People, I came to Samba 3 or 4 weeks ago and now have a successful ldapsam 3.0.11 PDC installation for 1150+ users (around 80 Win 2000 and XP workstations) running together with a DHCP server as an "afterthought" service on a RHAS3 NAS server. I adopted/adapted my already existent Openldap (2.2.17) DSE at that site) and wrote to this list about my experiences. For example I

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is a preview release of the Samba 3.0.12 code base and is provided for testing only. This release is *not* intended for production servers. However, there have been several bug fixes and new features added since 3.0.11 that we feel are important to make available to the Samba community for wider testing. Common bugs fixed in 3.0.12pre1

hi all, i'm sending some messages via "smbclient -M <user>" from my solaris-system to my windows-pc and this fails now since i installed 3.0.12 (it also does with 3.0.13). comparing the debug-output of 3.0.11 and 3.0.12 shows that it now tries to open a connection to port 445 instead of 139! why has this changed? thanks a lot, christian

Hi, I am trying to compile Samba 3.0.13 but when I run configure I get the following in the output. checking for iconv in /usr/lib... yes checking can we convert from CP850 to UCS2-LE?... no checking can we convert from IBM850 to UCS2-LE?... no checking can we convert from ASCII to UCS2-LE?... no checking can we convert from 646 to UCS2-LE?... 646 checking can we convert from UTF-8 to

Hi all Samba OS/2 users. I've just added OS/2 style extended attribute support into the SAMBA_3_0 subversion branch code. This depends on the underlying OS supporting EA's and (on linux) the filesystem being mounted with the "user_xattr" mount option and the parameter "ea support = yes" being set in smb.conf. Please check out this code and test it - let me know if

When I try to establish a trust from SAMBA 3.0.11 to Windows 2003 I get the error: NT_STATUS_INVALID_HANDLE. I have no problem the other way. I had no problem either, when I ran SAMBA 3.0.9, and the problem disappeared when I down-graded to 3.0.9. Here is what happens ('CALYPSO' is the Windows-server and 'KONTOR' is its domain-name): [root@linux /root]# net rpc trustdom

Hi list, Maybe this is a simple filesystem question.. but here it goes. We have a samba-3.0.12 + LDAP domain, today a profile of mine got borked it just stands there like it was loading but it freezes, I went to the server and deleted the profile dir and on the workstation to start a new one. It worked as expected but now I see it was created with diferent perms on 3.0.12 that with 3.0.10 ?

First thank you to the team for the Samba software. I have been using this on a number of sites with excellent results and very few problems over the years. I have just upgraded two sites to Samba 3.0.13 from 3.0.11. Both sites are small and use smbpasswd as the password db backend. Since the upgrade I am unable to change a users password (as root) using smbpasswd. There are two reported
