Hi, I'm trying to make samba working with Solaris ZFS Snaphots. Solaris 10 is running on a x64/X86 box which is both Samba (3.4.2) server and Zfs server. I created home/delaye filesystem with home zfs pool. # zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT home 1.98G 2.60M 1.98G 0% ONLINE - home/delaye 2.47M 1.95G 1.66M /home/delaye

hi, i was able to successfully run vfs_shadow on a samba share with win xp shadow copy client. but i think it?s currently not implemented that one could export [homes] with this vfs object, because AFAIK each @GMT-snap has to resist directly under the samba share. but [homes] is a virtual share representing different shares (depending on users). has anybody hints about using vfs_shadow with

Hello folks, While compiling samba I get a lot of warnings and errors which I don't know how to handle. I've been searching the internet and I found several notes from other people having the same errors/warnings, but never found a solution. In fact there was no response at all to these cries for help. Hopefully somebody will react to my cry... Can somebody give me a clue of what

hello, is someone interested in a script to manage snapshots for the VFS module shadow_copy. I recently wrote something and maybe other people might have some use for it. Is there any kind of script collection for samba where I can send it? Greetings, Christian

hi there, i begin to install shadow copy VFS mod function in samba 3.0.24-6etch9, after i see the same function at win2003srv, i think it could be very useful, if i gonna make it under DEB, but at the moment i'm really get stucked, i try to describe what's the point now; 1 - load shadow_copy mod in smb.conf vfs objects = shadow_copy 2 - install shadow copy client in WinXPProf 3 -

Samba has a shadow_copy module to serve read-only snapshots to windows clients. I tried to use snapshotting in freebsd 5 (haven''t tried 6), but couldn''t get it stable. I''m really looking forward to getting it going on Solaris. Anyway you can read about the format of the link here: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/VFS.html#id2618182 When it

I have successfully setup shadow_copy for normal shares on our samba test server. However, I cannot get it working for the homes share because of its uniqueness. Here is the homes share: [homes] comment = Home Directories read only = No create mask = 0700 directory mask = 0700 browseable = no fstype = XFS 1.2 vfs object = shadow_copy

A few months ago I reported an error on a Samba man page available online. The error is still there. Can someone with the appropriate privileges correct it? Thank you. "vfs_shadow_copy - Make a Samba share read only for a specified time period" This is obviously wrong. The error is present in the following pages: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/

Here's the situation: We have users who are members of groups and those groups are sometimes members of a 2nd level of groups. If a folder has permissions assigned to a 2nd level group, then the user can not access the share. Doing a "getent group | grep user | grep 2nd_level_group" also returns nothing. Samba seems to not be recognizing that a user is a member of a group under

There is an error in the vfs_shadow_copy man page. The module is described as: "vfs_shadow_copy ? Make a Samba share read only for a specified time period" which is obviously wrong. The error can also be found in the corresponding pages on the Samba site: https://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/ The link "vfs_shadow_copy(8)" has the same erroneous description. As

Hi, I am using SME server 6.0 which has samba preconfigured on it. We upgraded from MS Windows 2000 server. I am using the server in China and so many of the users wish to create files with Chinese characters in their names. File names with Chinese characters seem to cause all sorts of problems. They have trouble creating them, and files which are copied off backup (from the W2K system)

I'm trying to decide on a linux distro to use for our enterprise Samba server. I like that there is a deb repo for Debian from samba.org, but I'm more comfortable with CentOS (Redhat). I just want to be sure I have a well supported Samba server and I need at least the 3.0.20 version so I can use the "inherit owner" property. I also want automatic updates for bugfixes and

Hi, I have a data frame consisting of coordinates on a 10*10 grid, i.e. > example x y 1 4 5 2 6 7 3 6 6 4 7 5 5 5 7 6 6 7 7 4 5 8 6 7 9 7 6 10 5 6 What I would like to do is return an 10*10 matrix consisting of counts at each position, so in the above example I would have a matrix where, for example, cell [4,5] contains 2 and [6,7] contains 3. At the

Hello. I am trying to get the windows "previous versions" / shadow copies to work with our setup (samba+winbind over objectivefs). I have setup a test where I manually mounted two objectivefs snapshots in the /snapshots/ directory. Objectivefs filesystem is mounted on /ofs. When I try and look at the "previous version" in windows I get the error "there are no previous

Hello, I took a look at this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Rotating_LVM_snapshots_for_shadow_copy Do I miss sth. or how works the version integration? Where is the bridge to vfs_shadow_copy(2)? Regards Tim

Hello NG, found a thread with almost my current problem. There wasn't any solution out there. Maybe anything has changed? I want install samba v3.0.9 on an old rh linux v7.1. Currently there's no chance to update the core system. But while compiling it breaks with many "vfs"-errors as shown below: ..SNIP.. modules/vfs_shadow_copy.po(.text+0x6e2): undefined reference to

I have a Windows 2000 Active Directory domain and I need to create a group policy to assign an msi install to a computer. This has always worked fine on a Windows share, but now the install fails after moving to a Samba file server. I'm guessing it's some sort of permissions issue. Does anyone know how to make this work? James Dinkel Network Engineer Butler County of Kansas

I've got a server running CentOS 4.2; installed as 4.1, kept updated by yum. A few days ago it crashed. I picked it up from the datacenter, and brought it back to the office, where it took a long time to boot because it couldn't find anything. When it finally booted and I logged in I discovered an interesting problem. Only the / partition had loaded. /etc/fstab had all the

I'm trying to get into the world of Asterisk in order to use the voicemail and autoattendat features (and more stuff later) with a Redcom switch. But, I've only started and haven't gotten to that yet. At this point my solitary goal is to talk to the autoattendant via an SIP phone (SJPhone). I've spent countless hours trying to find the documentation I need to accomplish my goals

Our samba server authenticates to Windows 2000 Active Directory and I have ea support enabled on the share and on the file system. The OS is Debian Stable, fully updated and using Samba 3.0.23c from Backports. Now copying and accessing files is plenty fast, but when setting up permissions on directories that contain 100 GB or so of files and subdirectories takes like 60 minutes from the time I
