In samba3-3.3.9-40.el4 and samba3-3.4.7-42.el5 there are 3 .tdb files /var/lib/samba/locking.tdb /var/lib/samba/wins.tdb /var/lib/samba/mutex.tdb which are not documented in http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html# tdbdocs. Are they persistent or temporary? Moray. "To err is human.? To purr, feline"

In /varcache/samba/ I have several .tdb files. Like brlock.tdb, locking.tdb, ntdrivers.tdb, etc. Excusing my ignorance, what are these files, and what do they do? And why must they be copied when migrating from one samba server to a new one?

Hi All: I have problems with maintain tdb files. From samba doc, these files are = classified into persistent and temporary. From the man page of smbd, = these file are classified into persistent and not. However, there are = some files no need to backup but need to be persistent = (netsamlogon_cache.tdb), and some files need to backup but not need to = be persisten (registry.tdb). There are also

Hi folks. I continue to fight with regular locking database damage in Linux box. See Bugzilla Bug 370. The current question to gurus: what is the RIGHT behavoir of locking.tdb size? Should it decrease when the number of records decreases? Or, it should stay at maximal reached capacity? Alexey

We've just gone live with a file & print server, and are having major problems with Samba. When used out of hours, with all PCs switched on and connected to the domain, everything works fine. However, during the day, we have problems where users can't print to any samba-hosted printer, Access database applications (where the database is held on the server) won't work, or work

Thanks very much, Volker. I want to synchronize three tdb files(listed as below) which is relevant to the opened file: 1) brlock.tdb 2) locking.tdb 3) smbXsrv_open_global.tdb These three tdb files are used to realize the durable file handle feature. As what you have said, the performance will be affected if storing these three files in the shared storage. So can I realize the synchronization

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I was running a netbench performance test against Samba 3.0.11, and the test has not been able to complete fully. The samba logs contain lines such as this: [2005/02/28 11:35:23, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(645) ~ slave16 (192.168.133.116) connect to service netbench initially as user BENCHLAB+slave16 (uid=10016, gid=10001) (pid

Hello, i recently had problem with a samba server. To make some tests i make logs more verbose then the var partition "exploded". To make samba works fine i made this : stop samba services cleanup var partitions kill some smbd process make logs less verbose Then restart samba Since i've got some strange problems : When a user logout the process is not killed and sometime the user

Hi folks I face a problem about the data synchronization when using the ctdb. When one ctdb node fails, other ctdb nodes may not recover the data of the failed node. I think it may be due to the fact that ctdb stores its tdb files in the local storage. So, is it fine to store the tdb files in the shared directory of the backend storage? When one node fails, other nodes may recover the data from

Hello, I have been tracking this bug as much as possible, and it appears there is a severe problem in the code that deals with .tdb files. Lately our samba 2.2 testbed has been having painfully slow network responsiveness. It would go 30-60 seconds without a response to a client on many occasions (both browsing the network, and opening files/refreshing directories). Clients include Windows 98se,

I have successfully implemented Samba in the past but I am now perplexed by a new installation which fails smbstatus with the message: "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/brlock.tdb: No such file or directory Failed to open byte range locking database "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/locking.tdb: No such file or directory ERROR:

Hi, I'm hunting a bug in 3.0.x (tested on 3.0.10 and 3.0.20). Users can create and modfy files, but cannot delete them.

i have taken a default intel redhat 7.2 machine which came with samba 2.2.1a and removed samba, samba-common, samba-client and samba-swat. i also removed /etc/samba and /var/lock/samba and all samba log files i then installed the samba RPM for samba 2.2.5 from: http://se.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/7.2/samba-2.2.5- 1.i386.rpm i then installed this with rpm -ivh

Hello, last friday I switched my users from an old server running 2.2.12 to a new one running 3.0.10 (that I've been testing myself and with smbtorture). After a while I had to switch back to the old server because some users were having serious problems. This is one of the logs (the others are very similar): [2005/03/04 12:25:05, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(725)

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've been fighting with Samba for over a week now and I can't seem to work it out. It all started when I installed the standard samba (2.2.1a-4) which came with RH7.2. I ran "smbstatus" and got the following error: Failed to open byte range locking database ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database Can't initialise locking module - exiting. I've tried the

Hi, I've noticed that locking.tdb file grows over time. This happened while running the following test: - delete locking.tdb and restart samba - connect a linux client using cifs mount -run the following script on the client: #!bin/bash for i in `seq 1 130000`;do echo $i echo === KB_rand=$(((RANDOM % 300 + 1)*(1000)) dd

I am trying to determine which tdb files must be backed up in order to perform a proper system restore. I am running Centos's samba-4.9.1-6.el7.x86_64 as a PDC. There is a basic backup routine which backs up all files under /var/lib/samba but this appears to be wasteful, especially as gencache.tdb keeps growing until I delete. I can find a Samba3 reference at
