similar to: Can CIFS files in read only mode be cached by client?

Hi -- I am trying to compile 2.2 (acd76b5272e9) at FreeBSD 9.0: | libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I../../src/lib -I/usr/local/include -std=gnu99 -O2 -Wall -W -Wmissing-prototypes \ -Wmissing-declarations -Wpointer-arith -Wchar-subscripts -Wformat=2 \ -Wbad-function-cast -fno-builtin-strftime -Wstrict-aliasing=2 \ -I/usr/local/include -MT fs-posix.lo -MD -MP -MF

Add wrappers around posix_fadvise and use them in places we were calling posix_fadvise directly before. Also in virt-builder we were doing this (and ignoring the result): posix_fadvise (fd, 0, 0, POSIX_FADV_RANDOM|POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED); However the POSIX_FADV_* flags are _not_ bitmasks! In fact POSIX_FADV_RANDOM|POSIX_FADV_DONTNEED == POSIX_FADV_NOREUSE so we were giving a completely

I added a new mail_prefetch_count setting to Dovecot v2.1 (http://hg.dovecot.org/dovecot-2.1/). Its main purpose is to avoid unnecessary latency while waiting for replies from remote server with imapc, i.e. instead of doing (FETCH, wait, FETCH, wait, ...) it can do (FETCH, FETCH, .., wait). For the same reason it's also going to be very useful once I add support for key-value databases / other

Hi, I get while installing windows XP on a I ball Laptop using unattended (http://unattended.sourceforge.net/) *** Trying mount.cifs \\ntinstall\install /z -o username=guest,ro,nocase CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 46 mid 13 CIFS VFS: Send error in read = -11 CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 162 mid 17 CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 162 mid 21 CIFS VFS: No response to cmd 162 mid 25 CIFS VFS: No

The way we used posix_fadvise was wrong, and yet right! Rich.

Writing "file-like" plugins is hard because you have to implement your own .zero, .trim, .extents, etc, and that is very complicated. However implementations of these functions already exist in the file plugin. By factoring out the file plugin into a separate "fileops" mini-library we can reuse these implementations in other plugins. This refactoring commit creates a new

In version 3.0.23a (as a file server), I've noticed that CIFS clients (mount samba shares as cifs) get read errors. For example, if the vi a text file on the share, they get a read error. If the more a text file, nothing comes back, but the prompt. In 3.0.10 (pre configured by Centos, not compiled by me) this is not a problem. Here are my 3.0.23a options during configure:

I'm accessing a cifs mounted file system (on a MS Windows XP machine) from my CentOS 5 box. I can't edit/save files on the remote cifs system using OpenOffice etc, although I can copy/paste whole files OK (ie from CentOS to cifs). I've looked at the permissions on the mounted cifs and see that I have folder access "create and delete files" but not file access (the setting is

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have a Suse Linux 10.1 X86_64 server that is destined to work with a mixed bag of OS/2, Windows and Linux clients. For this reason, I have again chosen to use the SMB protocol, which mandates the use of samba. I started with samba 3.0.22, but ran into some glitches so migrated to 3.0.23rc3. My Linux client is running Suse 10.1 X86_32 with samba

This isn't actually what the cache=none parameter is currently doing.

Hi, I'm trying to mount a Samba share on Linux 2.6.10, using samba-3.0.7. The authentication is done using Kerberos V5, on a Windows server. The share is located on a Solaris server that uses samba-3.0.10. Authentication with Kerberos is functional (I can get a ticket using kinit(1)). The server requires client (packet?) signing. The admins in charge of the server refuse to make it

A sysadmin moved a share from one Windows server to another. I am now getting error 13 when trying to mount the share from the new server. The following worked before the server was replaced: mount.cifs //ipaddress1/share1$ /mnt/share1 -o credientials/home/whatever/.smbcredentials,rw mount.cifs //ipaddress2/share2$ /mnt/share2 -o credientials/home/whatever/.smbcredentials,ro Change: server

Hi list, we have a file server on which Win2k3 (EE) is installed. I can mount my home drive from a linux machine (gentoo with samba-3.0.2a-r2 installed) with my windows account data and mount.cifs. Then I can read files or navigate through the dirs. But if I try to write a file I get "permission denied". If I do the same thing as Administrator no error occurs. Well, one could say

Hi all, I'm trying to mount a Windows share, which I am able to browse successfully with smbclient, with mount.cifs. I run smbclient as follows: $ smbclient //host/share$ -U user -D dir -W DOMAIN -D being the remote directory changed to before the smbclient shell appears (as I understand it) - this works fine. I'm running mount.cifs as follows: # mount.cifs //host/share$ local/ -o

Hello, my company recently changed the stucture of some shares (Win2000). Since then, we are not able to access these shares from Linux/Solaris anymore. I tried smbmount and smbclient and can access the top-level directory of the share and see the directory structure, but I can't see any data inside these directories. A few days ago, someone told me that msdfs is used for the new structure

I have the following, very strange problem, which I'll try to describe now: A Samba server running Debian Etch with latest updates. Different clients one running Etch with latest updates, too. The other one runs either Ubuntu (don't know which version because it's not my installation, but quite recent) or the older Debian 3 but with a recent vanilla kernel (either 2.6.20.1 or
