similar to: Slow population of Properties in Windows Explorer

I should have noted; we did try an 'ls -R' on the Samba server itself on the same directory to try to rule out the local filesystem being behind the lag. That command returned almost immediately, which led us to believe that something with how Samba is relaying the filesystem metadata to the Windows clients was to blame. Is Windows Explorer querying all the subordinate ACLs recursively

Greetings Dovecot List, I have a bit of an edge case I am trying to resolve. I am currently using dovecot on Ubuntu 14.04 - Ubuntu package version: 1:2.2.9-1ubuntu2.3 I have attached the output of doveconf -n to this email - but to describe the configuration in a nutshell: my server is configured to use Maildir storage I do not use dovecot delivery service (there is a separate

Hello ! I'm very interested in btrfs development and I have general questions about it. Please accept my apologizes if they are dumb as I'm new to this area, and I just want to learn.. 1. Like the btrfs name implies (b-trees fs..) I guess that it works basically like WAFL (and ZFS), is that right ? 2. Are there any big differences between btrfs-wafl-zfs or only small ones ? 3. NetApp

We run our IMAP spool on ZFS that''s derived from LUNs on a Netapp filer. There''s a great deal of churn in e-mail folders, with messages appearing and being deleted frequently. I know that ZFS uses copy-on- write, so that blocks in use are never overwritten, and that deleted blocks are added to a free list. This behavior would spread the free list all over the zpool. As well,

Hi, we use attachment dedup with lots of emails (still migrating to it from maildir). We use netapp storage with wafl filesystem over nfs. Problem is that netapp has hard limit of 100k hardlinks to one file. And we encountered it. Problem is that dovecot start do segfault (lmtp,dsync,pop3 etc) when it happend when tried to deliver new emails with that attachment. Here is strace of dsync: 6740

I've just subscribed, but a search of the archive doesn't indicate this has been handled before... Is there a way to get rsync to not create a new file while transferring and then rename it, but to instead update the existing file in place, i.e. simply write those blocks that have been updated and leave the rest alone? That would be ideal for what I wanted rsync for, namely updating

Not sure if it''s been posted yet, my email is currently down... http://weblog.infoworld.com/yager/archives/2007/10/suns_zfs_is_clo.html Interesting piece. This is the second post from Yager that shows solaris in a pretty good light. I particularly like his closing comment: "If you haven''t checked out ZFS yet, do, because it will eventually become ubiquitously implemented

Hi ! Siemens is migrating away from Windows fileservers to Netapp Filers. First I thought great thats cool get rid of some more MS boxes... But now I face troubles connecting to the shares on the filers. Our support states a cite from netapp as: "samba is not compliant with the specs" Could anyone suply me with ammunition to counter that or knows why the netapp does not allow to

We are having a problem getting a NetApp filer to re-join a samba domain after a move to a new network. The filer worked fine with samba before the move. Apologies in advance for the long missive. I've tried the following: - re-running the CIFS setup program on the filer - removing the problem filer's samba account, replacing it, and re-running the setup program on the filer

Hello, I found a posting on the mailing list from 2008 "Adding new storage backend to Dovecot" while searching for POP3 and IMAP servers, that allow to use a NoSQL backend rather than a traditional file system. The problem with traditional filesystems is, that they are very limited. You cannot easily extend it, even with RAID 10 all messages may be lost due to a RAID controller

We are running scripts using smbclient to get some data of NetAPP filer and we run into the output below. After doing some digging, I found that there is a incompatibility between NetAPP Data ONTAP OS and samba. Is this still the case or there is a fix for it. We are running 3.0.10 Any ideas would be great George Client started (version 3.0.10). Connecting to 169.177.18.109 at port 445

Good ${time of the day} I have just been wondering if anyone would know if Samba is compatible with the CIFS implementation of the Network Appliance DataONTAP filers? http://www.netapp.com/products/filer/ontap.html I have so far unable to connect to any shared folder on the NetApp filer that require authentication. An attempt to access or list shared resources on the NetApp filer fails with the

Hi, I'm debating purchasing a NetAppliance fileserver that does native CIFS. Below is a URL to a NetAppliance authored paper regarding performance. One of the sections compares NFS to CIFS and talks about Samba. Can anyone dispute any of this? Is there any reason besides price that I should stick with Samba? -Ed Ed Sanborn (978) 691-6496 Northchurch

just a quick update: no issues with NFSv4.0 (load is slowly growing, currently ~7k mailboxes) instead, bad news from delegation front, we enabled it for a couple of days but we ran in ugly issues: processes went in "uninterruptible sleep" state, load average gets huge, reboot was the only escape :-( -brd Alessio Cecchi wrote: > Il 12/06/2015 13:02, brd ha scritto: > >Alessio

Hello I have troubles with some shares that are NFS mounted to a Netapp filer, if I enable locking on that share, the file cannot be opened by the windows client in write mode ( read only after a looong time ) Anyone has the same problem , it seems to be a Netapp bug but they do not support samba at all :-) so I don't expect any answer from them. thanks
