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

In August I reported a problem with the sys_ftruncate call that caused me to reboot my machine. I didn't see any responses to it then on the ext3 list, and the problem is now recurring, so I thought I'd try again. I don't think I've rebooted since the last problem. In the last few days it hasn't taken as long as 17 hours, but it has sometimes taken unusual and uncomfortable

Hello, I have problems to connect my pc to my samba server. I can log in to the server and I can se some folders but i can't access them.

Hi, Does someone know a document which explains the TDB structure. functionalites, and format of the TDB files etc. I need to understand why some of the TDBs like messages.tdb, unexpected.tdb, brlock if not read_only, locking.tdb, session.tdb, wins.tdb are called with TDB_CLEAR_IF_FIRST tdb flags. Why some TDBs are opend with O_RDWR|O_CREAT flags viz. gencache.tdb, group_mapping.tdb,

Hi, I have a specific question about the SMB 2 (or CIFS 2 version protocol). SMB2 was introduced with Microsoft Vista and is a redesign of the older SMB protocol. (http://wiki.ethereal.com/SMB2) Is current samba 3.0.xx release (or samba 4 release) support this protocol when vista client tries to establish session with the samba server. What are the features or advantages of getting this

Hi, I was able to successfully configure my samba server 3.0.24 running on Debian Linux server as "Domain Member Server" to W2k3 server. Command "net rpc testjoin" indicates that the join is a success. As mentioned in the document http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html Under the section "Nested Group Support" I was trying to

Hello, I'm trying to set up a samba server for a friend who has a mac. He's running OSX, version 10.2. He's got some really big video editing files that are well in excess of 2gb. We're trying to back these up to the samba server, but it quits right around 2gb. That seems to be a magical number. This is with version 2.2.3 of Samba, and Linux-Mandrake 8.2, ext3 file system. I

We have a Samba server which acts mainly as file server, but we want it to resolve host names for local machines. I have written some IP-hostname lines both in /etc/hosts and /etc/samba/lmhosts, and I have "wins support = yes" in smb.conf, but then from a Windows client I try to ping one of those hosts and it can't resolve the address. I have tried some combinations of

Several times recently my "mutt" email program has looped for hours at a time in the middle of a sys_ftruncate call. This happens when I use the "$" command to write changes out to my mailbox. It does eventually return from the call and everything seems to have worked ok. But in the meantime the CPU is pegged, $MAIL is locked so I can't receive new mail, and signals to

Hi Orion, no, I still have this problem. I delay working on it as I the latest updates have not been installed on the server and on the client. I'll work again on this problem as soon as possible. Thanks Charles for your detailed information on how to track this problem. I'll check all these metrics. I have several clients for this nfs server and the problem seems only to occur from the

Greetings All, Without going into the specific reasons why I need to do so, is anyone aware of a method (or tool) of watching real-time, human-readable (or system call print) of ext3 filesystem operations on a mounted, active filesystem? Excuse me if this is a duplicate question but I was unable to find any similar ones in the archives. Thanks in advance! Kevin Strong Criminal Information

There was another tech coordinator that asked the following on our list: > Hey all, I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to give students read/write permissions to a certain drive letter without giving them the ability to delete other (or thier own) files. Currently I have chmod 1770 permissions (read write, but only owner can delete) and one owner (the teacher) for all the files, but

I have a fix for the sendfile.c code for HP-UX - length not properly specified prior to call. I've also added code to support the AIX send_file() function and configure.in code to check for AIX specific send_file API and sets AIX_SENDFILE_API if successful. Could you consider this patch for 3.0.11? I also sent a web/cgi.c patch for "struct var" last week with respect to compile

Dear All, I use Samba 2.2.12 on an embedded linux system as a server and a windows xp (with SP2) pc as a client directly connected together with a cross-over network cable (I have also tested with a normal network cable). Everything works well such as connection or small files transfers but we have a huge problem when we try to transfer a big file (~700 MB) from the client (Windows) to the

All, I am running into a situation in which one of my ext3 filesystems is getting hung during normal usage. There are three ext3 filesystems on a CompactFLASH. One is mounted as / and one as /tmp. In my test, I am copying a 100 MB file from /root to /tmp repeatedly. While doing this test, I eventually see the copying stop, and any attempts to access /tmp fail - if I even do ls /tmp the
