Please help me understand why I am unable to connect to and browse the newly configured DFS tree that I installed on my Samba server according to the instructions found in Chapter 18. "Hosting a Microsoft Distributed File System Tree" of the official how-to. Irrespective of whether I try to access the dfs file tree from either the local file browser (and choosing the SMB tree) or from

Hi, I've tried a couple of different versions/distros and can't seem to mount a FAT32 (vfat) partition and then share it with Samba, such that all use of R/A/S/H attributes (for files and folder) is maintained... So I'm wondering if this is even possible? I've most recently been testing with host: Debian 4.0 (Linux 2.6.18-4-686) which includes Samba 3.0.24 client: WinXP

OK. I'll setup the scenario. I'm trying to use a USB Vfat drive shared via samba to an OSX 10.5.8 client. When copying files from the Mac to Samba 3.0.26a I kept getting this error: You do not have sufficient privileges to complete this operation (or something close to that) And it would not complete the copy operation. This is resolved for the moment, but wanted to share some of

I'm running Samba on Ubuntu server. I know, perhaps it is not related with Ubuntu Server 8.04, but rather with Samba itself, but I thought perhaps someone has similar experience... I have a couple of shares on Samba on a vfat (fat32) volume. As everybody knows Linux permissions does not work on vfat, except on mount folder where vfat partition is mounted. I though that is really not a

Hello All, I am currently using Red Hat 8 and wine 20030408.

I am running RedHat 7.1 on it's own linux drive, and have my win98 drive mounted in fstab as vfat. I have installed wine, and can run programs on my windows drive in old 8.3 named directoies. However, whenever I try to run anything in Program Files, for example (with the space in the file name), I get the following error: /opt/wine/bin/wine.bin: cannot find 'mnt/c/Program\

Hello there! I've recently switched from Fedora 11 to CentOS6. Now my SD cards (automatically mounted on plug) contents is displayed as UPPERCASE filenames. I well see in mount's man that vfat's shortname option can be set to either lower, win95, winnt, mixed. OK, that's for entries in /etc/fstab or when mounting manually. I'd like to change the defaults for devices that

I'm running RH7.1 and Samba 2.2.2 . I would like to offer a VFAT partition on the server hard drive for universal read-write access. I mount the partition in fstab with /dev.hda5 /sys vfat defaults,rw,uid=1001,gid=1001 0 0 It mounts fine and shows up on the Windows 98 machine and can be opened. I can't write to it however. User and group 1001 are smbuser account, and they

Hello. I am trying to create a text file that contains an accent like '?' in it's filename on a vfat filesystem. This generates an error like the following: "test?.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing I have made a 'modprobe nls_cp850' and 'modprobe nls_iso8859-1' to load those needed modules. Then I mounted my FAT32 partition like this: mount -t

Hi all, My system is : kernel 2.4.8 with ext3-0.9.6 patch e2fsprogs-1.22-2, mount-2.11g, util-linux-2.11f And ext3 filesystem works fine, but when a vfat partition is mounted: [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/tmp [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdd1 on /mnt/tmp type vfat (rw) everything looks

I recently added a 60Gig HD to my little linux server at home with the intention of sharing it via Samba to all my PCs which run Windows 98SE. I really want to use vfat file system on it. The server is running Mandrake 8.1, so kernel 2.4.something, and the Samba that came with it. Much to my disappointment I quickly discovered poor performance copying files to it, the copy is like slow to get

Hi Everybody! I'm sharing my VFAT partition on computer #1. Computer #2 can both read and write stuff on computer #1, but every once in a while - could be like 1 in 3 - my XP on computer #2 will say "file system error". The second error will say something about the file being locked. Then I changed my smb.conf to make samba say that my share was a FAT (instead of NTFS) and I

Hi all, I have a problem where when I try to write to a 'vfat' partition (in Fedora Core 3, rsync 2.6.3) I get this error: -=-=-[ error ]-=-=- rsync: mkdir "/mnt/tle-bu/src0/tle-bu/231e2838-93b0-4f6f-8b8b-f09e24e1ed80" failed: No such file or directory (2) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at main.c(381) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (8 bytes received so

Hello I have used samba for many years, and it worked great (thanks!). Anyway, I recently decided to add a USB drive to the server. Currently running 2.6.29.2 linux kernel, debian etch. samba version 3.0.24 The USB drive is VFAT I am able to write small files remotely to the USB drive (a few Kb, 10's of Kb) without a problem. However, whenever I try to write something "larger"

Hi under linux I have to mount windows filesystem (ntfs or vfat). but with rsync (or with a single touch command as well) I can not write a file with a correct date on /mnt/windows_vfat or /mnt/windows_ntfs with ntfs --> only write file system ! with vfat --> wrong date ! so rsync does a full copy each time. How can I solve this ? PS: I use the same script to synchronise ext3 filesystem as

Hi, After some postings and advice I did some tests. It seems that I should rather backup to linux partition then a vfat partition. Using it to vfat a lot errors/complaints and all the files not at dest dir. Using it to ext3 - no errors/complaints and all files at dest dir. It seems then that rsync was meant for linux. Use it as * super user *. My assumptions correct? Thanks -- Johan May this
