similar to: Slow MS Access database after upgrade to Samba3

Dear All, We have an access database running on a Samba share (Samba version 3.0.10-1.4E) with a gigabit connection to the network. The front end of the databases are on the client machines with linked tables stored in a separate mdb file on the linux server. For some reason the database runs very slowly when it is set up in this way. I tested copying a 10 MB file onto the samba share and it

Hello everybody, Hi Jorge We have found a solution to the problem I've posted earlier to this mailing list; see below for the full history. There was a function in our runtime application which would rebuild all links to external access tables each time the application was started. To keep it short, we're checking the presence of a certain value when starting (in the windows

Hi! I'm currently hunting a strange problem and looking for help! I have a samba3 fileserver (currently samba-3.0.20b, but problem can be reproduced with samba-3.0.7, but _not_ with samba2 like 2.2.8a), and I see performance problems when writing files with MS word 2002 SP3 from a NT4.0 (SP6a) workstation. Saving even the smallest file takes more than 10 seconds! Copying files with Windows

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi! I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating system is Windows XP professional. With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the GIS presentations with ArcView. We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b)

Hi folks, I have been able to migrate a WinNT4 domain to a Samba3 PDC domain using openldap as a backend and smbldap-tools to vampire the WinNT4 domain (pretty much following Samba3 by Example and documentation in smbldap project by IDEALX). Nevertheless, all 600 users migraged from the WinNT4 domain have attributes like these on the ldap database: userPassword: {crypt}x

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

Hello, I did the installation of Samba4 classicupgrade. Made to import the users and groups according to wiki. Added another Samba4 as a member and in it put the old smb.conf to care. See all shares on the network but can not access the shares of former Samba3. Example sharing Samba3 [usuarios] comment = diretorios dos usuarios valid users = jose force

Hi, I have samba-3.0.11-1 on a Red hat ES 2.1 box. I also have a Win 2003 Server Domain Controller, to which my users should autenticate. My files are all in linux machine (+ also apache, mysql etc) I have also an Access mdb that could be open by several user at same time, based on linked mysql tables. Opening certain masks in access is veryyyyyy slow, so I try to create another share, accessible

Hi all, I had been running a Samba pdc using the standard tdbsam backend on CentOS 4.5 supporting 20+ WinXPsp2 workstations and a Win2k3 Terminal Server. This set up was running fine for arroung 18 months maybe more. The above system was built on ageing hardware that used to be a Win 2k server that died from OS corruption. Due to the expanding client needs there was good reason to replace

The first time a Word or Excel file is opened, i.e., when either Word or Excel have not been actively running "recently" (like, say for several minutes or more), the time it takes to start the application and load the file seem inordinately long. Once the first evolution is complete, files open more-or-less instantly if I close the first document but leave either app running (but

Hi, I'm having trouble migrating from Samba2 to Samba3. I'm trying to make a share that allows some users read-only access, and others read-write. In version 2.2 this worked, but not in version 3. I'm pretty sure it's my configuration, but I ran into this link on the samba bugzilla site, and now I don't know. https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1844 Can

I am trying to get samba working again, since my employer upgraded to a Windows Server 2003. I have installed samba-3.0.2a-1_rh9.i386.rpm to my Linux (RedHat 9) system. I can connect to other machines in my domain, read/write files, etc. When I try smbmount on the Windows server, I get this error: cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. I have tried enabling SMB

We're in the process of replacing an ailing NT box with a Linux one running Samba (Red Hat 7.3 w/ kernel 2.4.18-18.7.xsmp [from Red Hat] and samba version 2.2.7, with a variety of Win2k boxes connecting to it) and I have a couple of quick MS Access questions (in the hopes someone out there has had any experience with these things): 1) We have one rather large (700MB+) Access database on

hi everybody we have been reading through the archives for quite some time now, and could not find a solution to our problem. please excuse if we overlooked something and our question was already answered elsewhere... we have Samba version 3.0.14a-Debian running on (you guessed it) debian with kernel 2.6.8-2-386. ever since our migration from samba 2.x we have speed issues with an ms

Hi, I?ve recently migrated to a Samba3 server and everything seems to be running well apart from a problem with some users that run macros in MS Access. I?m told that a process which used to take 15min on the old W2K server took over an hour on the new samba box. After having a scan through the archives I think the problem may be related to oplocks/locking but I?m pretty sure I?ve got these
