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

Hello there, w/ my CentOS6 (up-to-date), running GNOME, I'm struggling with HAL and mount options for my USB storage devices. According to what I'm reading from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/general/hal.html My old policies in /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ are ignored (and this is true!). Apparently I should edit my custom mount options through gconf-editor (in

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

#1 yes, you should use -rt instead of -a as everything else in -a is incompatible with vfat. #2 timestamps will always be a problem on vfat. It has a 1 or 2 second resolution so --modify-window=2 is a common solution. However, if you live somewhere that has yearly clock changes (we call it daylight savings time) those will cause the timestamps to be off by an hour on top of the 1-2 second

You don't have to change the system setting just change the TZ env variable in the terminal you run rsync in.

Thanks a lot, Kevin. I have a new Linux box and tried to set it to UTC but I think gnome outsmarted me... I'll use -rt and maybe ignore timestamps entirely rather than the window. If I find something wrong on the USB stick I can always copy it again. I love the -c option, but it takes forever on slow media.

Hello there, since I installed CentOS6 few months ago (kept up-to-date using yum), I'm facing very poor performances when writing to USB pendrives. The hardware: a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop (Intel Core Duo P8600 @2.40Ghz), 4Go RAM + 4Go swap, several USB2 pendrives of various brands (less than old, all formatted as vfat). When I perform a copy (with cp or midnight commander, copying big

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. 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

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 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

Hi, I have been using rsync for over ten years. Thank you! It is a great tool. Recently I had the misfortune to have to use it to sync files to a USB stick that is for a platform that only supports FAT32. After missing the point a few times and having it copy some of the same directories and files needlessly I saw the timestamps on the source files (in reasonable filesystems like JFS, XFS,

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"
