similar to: ftp 8x faster than samba

I have a very simple setup here that I have recently made some modifications to and it has affected my ability to save files to the linux samba server. The recent changes are: converted all fs's to xfs from ext3. Upgraded to latest kernel 2.6.7 from a 2.4 kernel. Samba used to work fine. Now, I can copy files out of my linux samba server to my windows machine at full speed. However, when

Hello All, I have been doing some research to find a method to increase the performance of writes to the hard drives in my servers. I am running Samba and all writes to the server hard drives are taking at least 3 to 10 times (It varies) the amount of time it took to write such files on our older Windows NT 4.0 File Server. The following information is provided to keep this issue on track...

Hello Everyone, I have a few users that are complaining about the "slowness" of copying files to and saving files directly to the Samba server. From my own recollections, the speed is rather identical to the speed we experienced on our old Windows NT 4.0 fileserver. One thing that could be the impetus of this issue is that Samba is serving up files, for opening and copying from the

Next month I will move about 3000 clients (w2k) to a PDC samba, after that I will have more 1200 clients, but this time will be Linux, my question is: 1- Is there domain logon, like we have for Windows users ? 2- is smb the protocol recommended to FileShare to Linux clients or NFS is better (is there another one) ? -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

If you don't want to type the ip adress of your samba server every time you connect, add a entry to your local hosts file and lmhosts file. You will find this files (and sample files with extension ".sam") in the windows main directory of Win95 and under "system32/drivers/etc" on WinNT 4.0.

Simon, What version of Windows XP are you using? If your client has purchased computers from Best Buy or a similar electronics "mega-store" they likely received WinXP Home Edition. (Which is what it sounds like based upon the use of Win9x machines you mentioned.) If that is the case, then you will be unable to get the WinXP machines to see the Samba Server (or a Windows

Hi all... Im at the stage where: Kinit works Net ads join -U Administrator works (I can see the computer in AD) Net ads user works Wbinfo -u / -g / -t works Getent passwd/group works What I cannot seem to get working is when someone logs onto the domain, and then tries to map a drive to the samba server, its like the credentials arent getting passed onto samba, or rather samba is unable to look

Hi all, I've recently set up a samba server, but just discovered that people on the "other" side can't reach it. The system shows up in Network Neighborhood, but you can't double click on it. It returns a message saying that the server is either inaccessible, or that I misspelled the name (How I did that with just one mouse click is beyond me ;) I had 'allow

Additional Info... I am beginning to think that a file called 'secrets.tdb' might be what I am looking for. Inside that file is something mentioning SID. Of course, it also mentions the name of the PDC. If that is the file I am supposed to copy over. Then it is done. However, I still need a little more input for setting up a Samba BDC. With a Samba BDC, should I leave the

Hello all, I'm creating a site where people can share their benchmarks. If you are interested, the site is at (I just started on it so it has the stock graphics and color scheme still): www.dcsnow.com/mambo I would like some thoughts on what would be a good way to standardize the testing so the results are more comparable. Is Bonnie+ a good program for hard drive speed testing? Is there

I have this problem: there is a subnet 192.168.6.0/24 and the gateway is 192.168.6.1 which has also another nic 172.21.13.123 which belongs to subnet 172.21.13.0 where the PDC of NT-domain is. GW does NAT and it causes that computers/users in subnet 192.168.6.0 cant logon to NT-domain. Is it possible to put Samba in GW machine so that it can be a backup domain controller in NT-domain and it uses

Hello, I have an annoying little issue. I am currently running Samba 2.2.5-10 as a Primary Domain Controller and have a number of shared drives with a variety of differing users and user rights all over the place. In my smb.conf file, I have the following share: [emergpo] path = /share/purchasing/emergpo force directory mode = 0770 create mode = 0770

Hi, I need to create one or more NetBIOS host alias of my unique SAMBA server version 2.27 which is running on a RedHat Linux 8.0 box acting as a simple file-sharing machine for our WORKGROUP. I need that my clients see three differents host more than the real fileserver; I think the scope of virtual server was based on which virtual host I'll contact I'll see the relative share: so

I have two identical installations of samba v2.25 on linux boxes. On one system everything works fine but on the other, copies of smbd start but never terminate. The result is that the winduhs boxes that are trying to access the samba share get locked out and never find the samba server. The configurations of the two systems are identical and I am unable to determine why one works and the other

Can Samba be used as a complete replacement for a Windows 2000 Active Directory server? I have some vague notion that this can be accomplished by using a combination of OpenLDAP, Samba, MIT Kerberos, and the OpenAFS file system. To say the least, the descriptions I have found have been vague as to whether or not I will be able to completely replace the functionality of an Active Directory server

Good Day! I have a fairly new user on my network that has, over about 10 months, created in root inbox and nested sub-folders totaling over 900 individual folders. In the past few weeks, newly created folders will be visible in Outlook 2013, but when an email is moved into that folder, it is no longer visible. I can ssh into the server, drill down to that

Hello All, I was curious to know if there is any method for recovering data that has been deleted by a user on accident, this occurred prior to the running of the official back-up. Anyway, a user ended up losing a few hours of work, so I need to attempt to recover what I can, if at all possible. Any suggestions?

There's a phantom domain master browser showing up in my Samba nmbd.log file. I keep thinking that maybe it is left over in one of the files that I transferred over from the old server to the new server and it isn't clearing itself out. Is there a way to clear that and is it possible to have a phantom browser fighting over the Domain from a copied over file? I transferred all of the
