Hello, I'm having a very strange problem with Samba version 2.2.7a. I have four boxes, Two Linux Mandrake Boxes (Morpheus and Unreal both v. 9.2), One RedHat (Link v. 8.0) and an XP Workstation (Kek XP Pro NO SP1). When I bring up My computer (Explorer) and attempt to browse through the H: drive (SMB Share mapped to Users Home dir on Morpheus), Y: drive (SMB Share maped to /backup on

Hello, We recently deployed Samba 4.5 on Debian Jessie-derived Linux with kernel v4.5.7 sharing an XFS filesystem. We are migrating a large data set from old NetApp filers to the Samba share. While attempting to monitor the progress of the migration, we are observing very slow population of filesystem metadata in the Properties window (specifically the General tab for info like "Size"

Hello, I have the following setup and problems and wanted to ask if anyone could help. Network 1 -- 192.168.1.xxx ----- Network 2 -- 192.168.2.xxx |------ Switch with port based vlan and a Samba Server which | | is placed in all port based vlan's and has ip aliases | |

I should have noted; we did try an 'ls -R' on the Samba server itself on the same directory to try to rule out the local filesystem being behind the lag. That command returned almost immediately, which led us to believe that something with how Samba is relaying the filesystem metadata to the Windows clients was to blame. Is Windows Explorer querying all the subordinate ACLs recursively

I've got this problem on xp machines where when you are trying to browse a shared drive it takes a realy long time to view it but once you have connected your off and running. Is there a way I can get this to speed up. People are complaining that there system is freezing when the try and browse the shared folder. They just don't give it enough time to get connected. Anyone got an answer

We have a DLink DNS-323 NAS box. It uses Samba internally. Whenever I map a drive to the NAS box using Windows Explorer, it gets intermittently slow to browse any drive. Even clicking in the c:\ drive will cause a pause of several seconds. If I unmap the drive the problem goes away. How to fix?

Hello all I have been searching around the internet and even used the searchable samaba mailing list archive. It seems I have a rare case of where my problem is reversed to the common slow samba problem. My problem is this: I have a network of 3 PCs, one Linux 2 Windows XP. They are connected via a hardware router (switched) on the 190.190.1.0 network. On the linuxbox I have a collection of

Hi people. I add a new server to the network, windows 2003 R2 sp2, is another client in the domain running gentoo linux with samba 3.0.24, the problem i have is that my Network Browsing is very slow inside win2k3. * The network is working normally, 90% of my clients are windows xp pro sp2 and those can browse the network without a issue. * The master browser in the domain is my linux

Hello All I have a Samba 2.2.7 on a RedHat9 system installed as a PDC. Domain logons work fine, I see the linux system in the network neighborhood, but the browsing of tha samba shares is very slow, especially on stepping up in the directory tree. Usually when reaching back to the first level of shares, the flashlight/folder icon appears in windows explorer, and in the top bar

Greetings, I'm running into some curious and undesirable behaviour from windows explorer when I browse certain folders in my samba share - explorer freezes for some considerable time before displaying the contents with their little icons. This happens from both W2K SP4 and XP SP1 clients. For example, explorer routinely freezes for 20 seconds or longer when I open the innocuous

I run samba 3.0.1 on a Redhat 9 box. Everything is fine, there are just two minor points which I would like to fix. Firstly, I am seeing the following in my logs. It occurs every few hours in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd and every 10 minutes or so in /var/log/messages: [2004/01/24 01:17:04, 0] nmbd/nmbd_browsesync.c:get_domain_master_name_node_status_fail(485)

After upgrading one of our servers from Fedora 7 to Fedora 9, from Samba 3.0 to 3.2.0-2.17.fc9 I noticed this strange phenomena: Windows 2003 and XP clients freeze when you type "\\server" in an explorer address bar where "server" is the name of the Samba 3.2 host. Windows 2000 clients don't freeze. 2003/XP clients don't freeze when you enter

hi, I am quite new on using Samba and sorry maybe ask a silly question here. I set up simple Samba server on Fedora3 using the samba rpm package comes with fedora3( version 3.0.10-1.fc3). I use the SHARE security level to make things easier. Everything goes fine so far, except that for some windows user, some times, on browsing some directories, it takes extremely long time to display the

Dear All, I could not find a site to search for the mailing list archives. If my question is already asked, sorry for the inconvenience, but please provide me some link(s) for solving it. I have a FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT server. Samba 2.2.8 is installed and running on it. I have no problems with Windows 98 machines in the LAN. My only problem is with Windows 2000, Windows XP machines. Directory

Hi, I have recently set up an old machine as a linux fileserver (Intel 815E board with 512MB ram and PIII 800mhz). I am running the latest Fedora Core 5 with the version of samba 3 that ships with that and am exposing a single share for my software raid (4x400gb PATA seagate drives, running from two siig ATA cards so each drive has its own channel) I also have a buffalo 1.0tb terastation

We recently moved our Linux file servers from Debian Woody to Debian Etch (v4.0r3). We use the current stable Debian Samba package which is version 3.0.24. Since moving to this Samba version from 2.2.8a-0.1 we see that Windows clients are very slow to list the 5 network drives mapped by our domain login script in Explorer or "My Computer". It can take 10 seconds or so before the drives

All, In winxp & 2k for that matter, you have the ability of saving shortcuts to network places in the my network places. When some of my users try to access these shortcuts(to a samba share) in winxp, it takes a horrendous amount of time for the folders to populate the screen. Especially when viewing in windows explorer with the folders view button depressed. Under tools>folder

Hi: I recently encountered a problem reading directories via an XP Pro client shared from a samba server (redhat's rpm samba-2.2.7-5.8.0). File listing was sometimes VERRRY slow. It was not a DNS issue in this case. The symptoms, and my fix is below, but I wanted to ask, is there a way to deal with this from the server? (I dunno- like redirecting port 80 or something). >From the client,
