Hi there, We are thinking about sharing same files: - OS2/Win clients with Samba - Linux clients with NFS. So, the same files would be shared by 2 different protocols. Looking at the open.c samba code, there seems to be no check / no error (sharing violation) returned to the smb client when the file is already locked by an NFS client. - So, even if a file is opened and locked by an NFS client,

Hi, I am having a lot of trouble with getting 0s2 to talk with samba. They seem to be making the right noises at handshake time, and seem to set up a session no problems (using ethereal, monitoring packets). However, when it comes to actually transferring information (such as doing a listing of a share from the os2 box) it crashes with the error: Open AndX Request, Path: \OSO001.MSG; Read

Our Samba file server has a share with an visual basic application, there are 8 XP clients working with this share. The problem is that connections are very slow when accessing mdb databases... we are using MS Access ODBC to connect to the database on the samba server. Is there any special tuning for make things better? Thanks for the posible answers... -- Javier Cano Flores

Hi, We're doing some of performance tests with Linux Samba v3. We're comparing WinXP/Win2k clients vs OS2 clients accessing a samba server. For one test, we're coping 10.000 small files. Let's say, we run the command copy \\sambaserver\10000files\*.* c:\data\10000files With an OS2 client it takes 23 seconds to complete. With an Windows client it takes 460 seconds to complete.

hello, i have the following problem, im using ubuntu enterprise Server with Samba 3.0.22. Filesharing works perfect. Since i installed a second USB-Printer (HP Laserjet 1022), the samba printsystem becomes unavailable. Printing via CUPS (latest Version) in the syslog i get these errors: smbd[5096]: create_policy_hnd: ERROR: too many handles (1025) on this pipe. Aug 1 14:41:26 xtsrv1

Hi! anyone knows where to get some info for kernel (maybe via sysctl) and or samba tuning for high performance ? I have read all the samba docs available, so aim looking for others tips besides the tcp tunings usually applied in smb.conf ? i am setting a server on a client site, with many clients (about 100), and i am using a real server hardware (an HP netserver with xeon procesor@2.8Ghz, 1Gig of

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

I have a file server running with Samba over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1. This File server store MDB and XLS files. Could anybody give me an optimal setup for my samba server (smb.conf). Actually, the performance is very poor.

Hi all I'm trying to use my Cobol aplication with Smba but i'm getting A LOT OF "OPEN" errors... lookslike system is (or isn't) looking files for read/write. Anybody had this problem? PS: this program isn't mine, it's just for my company made by third company.

I work for a company that has a program localy developed, and we were having a problem when we started storing the application on the samba shared drived mabye simular to what you are expereienceing. in ur smb.conf (usuly in /etc/samba/smb.conf) make sure on the shared drive in samba the oplocks are set (example below) ... <insert more smb.conf here> ;================= Clinic

Hi all, I am attempting to get Sage to support their software if the files are on Samba (Linux). They (like a lot of people I've heard) say "We don't support Linux, Goodbye." even when the client is on Win98/NT. We have been having trouble on a particular site, and they refuse to support Sage Line 50 if the files are on Linux which is absurd, because Linux is much more

Hi fans, i tryed to use samba to share a paradox database which comes with a special trade programs. On a novell server it works fine. But on the samba share I get a corrupted database after some minutes of multi user access. I've tryed some entries in the smb.conf and I think a have a very conservative setting now. I heared of somebody who uses samba successfully with the same application

Hello, I've read a lot of information and forums concerning the samba performance question, but nothing was helpful. I'm desperate of the situation so I'm writing here hoping somebody could help me. When copying cca 330MB file from server - I can reach rate about 8-11MB/s depending on some mysticals factors, which I can't identify. To eliminate possible network problems, I've

We're running samba in our organization to serve files in a LAN to windows machines (almost XP), and we're having some performance issues with small files. With big files (ie, ISO images), it works pretty well. But, when small files are involved in the transference, problems arise. In the same environment, a Windows 2000 machine (the 'old' server) is able to send data to

Hi. Between 2 linux (2.6.11 client and 2.6.14 server) machines connected by a 100Mb link I get samba performance copying a file from the client to the server through a smbmounted share of around 4.2MB/s Is this to be expected? Or can it be improved (and if so, how?) I've tried tweaking SO_(SND/RCV)BUF (after reading numerous articles on samba performance...), but it doesn't seem to have

I am seeing some extremely slow logons to my SUSE servers. All are configured exactly the same. When I attempt to log on, I can enter my domain (AD) account without any problems. I then enter my password and sit and wait for several minutes until it eventually takes me to my desktop. In attempting to debug the problem, we have been able to see millions of calls to the domain controller. They

Hi all... Last monday i migrated form novell 4.0 to Samba 3.0 PDC. The server acts as a file server for 30 workstations (Win2000) using an aplicattion that combines clipper (with .dbf files) and delphi (uses paradox .px and .db). Its perfomance has been very poor since i changed the server. PLEASE HELP ME, since its in production and i really don know what to do. thanks, sebastian davancens

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have an unsolved problem with WINS, when i was setting the PDC i connected it to a lan (DHCP) to update the OS, and when i changed it to production environment i defined a static IP. Even after clearing the cache WINS still looks for the old ip to get browse syncs. I've seen this issue posted in some threads in the samba mailing list as well as
