Hi all, I fear I can't rely on "open (path, O_CREAT | O_EXCL)" behaviour on samba share. The libc's doc says: If both `O_CREAT' and `O_EXCL' are set, then `open' fails if the specified file already exists. This is guaranteed to never clobber an existing file. But this isn't probably true on network filesystems. When I run this tiny program on

Hi Slight problem - linux 2.4 running dovecot, Solaris 2.8 home directory server. Full lockd support etc. I had to make the following code patches (at end of mail for clarity) to get dovecot to read the users mbox files at all. 1) fcntl with F_SETLKW will not work against a Solaris 2.8 server as proved with a small test program. Other forms of fcntl (ie F_SETLK) are OK. I noticed there are

Hi Sorry if it's not 100% appropriate for this list, cannot think of better place to find people with lots of know-how from Unix and Windows. I'm currently working on replacing EMC's Celerra file servers by Linux/Samba. The SID to UID/GID mapping table on Celerra is very large, ~50'000 entries and I don't want to pollute my LDAP server with all this (using winbind with LDAP

The /dev/[r]dsk nodes implement the O_EXCL flag. If a node is opened using the O_EXCL, subsequent open(2) to that node fail. But I dont think the same is true for /dev/zvol/[r]dsk nodes. Is that a bug (or maybe RFE) ? Thanks Sumit -- This messages posted from opensolaris.org

If I read the code correctly, only dotlocks are supported for locking of dovecot-uidlist. And I don't see any settings in the config file for it. As it turns out, dotlocks are very slow on my system, due to their implementation via hardlinks. Would it be possible to support other locking mechanisms for locking of the uidlist file? -jdb

Hi I have a applikation (Oracle DB) which writes files with a backslash in names, i.e: Log\GEN_INPUT_BASED_2899.csv not a problem for Unix but Samba present it to Windows users as: L2CYOP~L.CSV Is there any way _in Samba_ to strip this 'Log\' and give back to user the GEN_INPUT_BASED_2899.csv part. Tha appliance (EMC Celerra) I've just migrated data from, was magicaly doing this.

We should avoid using non multi-path (mp) path for mp disks As of now there is no good way (like api) to check that. A workaround way is to check if the O_EXCL open is unsuccessful. This is safe since otherwise the BTRFS_IOC_SCAN_DEV ioctl would fail if the disk-path can not be opened with the flag O_EXCL set. This patch also includes some (error) print format changes related to the btrfs

Today, rsyncd manages its pid file by open()ing it with O_CREAT|O_EXCL at startup, and then unlink()ing it at shutdown. If the open() fails at startup because the file already exists, then rsyncd will assume another instance of itself is already running and not start. However, there's a problem with this approach: if rsyncd is terminated without being able to clean up (e.g., kill -9, or the

Hi, we have a medium setup (8000 pop and imap users using almost every available client, 800GB of stored mails using maildir on a Celerra NFS server, with index files on local disks, and procmail for local delivery), being served by a Dell PowerEdge 2850 (2GB RAM and dual P4 Xeon 3,2GHz). Our current not-so-high availability setup is based on a similar server with the same setup and a easy

I have attached a patch that supports a new "--direct-write" option. The result of using this option is to write directly to the destination files, instead of a temporary file first. The reason this patch is needed is for rsyncing to a device where the device is full or nearly full. Say that I am writing to a device that has 1 Meg free, and a 2 meg file on that device is out of date.

Hello, when I do: /opt/rsync/bin/rsync /etc/hosts targethost::bkp/ I get: cannot create .hosts.b0WX1x : File exists I check the targethost and I get empty file .hosts.b0WX1x When trying with other targethost-s it works, but on this one it doesn't. On the other targethosts I have exactly the same LinuX distribution, permissions and users than on the problem targethost. I have exactly the

Hi, on AIX, mkstemp doesn't open a file with the O_LARGEFILE option, so you can't transfer files > 2GB to an AIX machine. Here is a fix: diff -c -r rsync-2.5.6.orig/syscall.c rsync-2.5.6/syscall.c *** rsync-2.5.6.orig/syscall.c Sun Jan 26 21:09:02 2003 --- rsync-2.5.6/syscall.c Wed May 14 13:55:15 2003 *************** *** 151,157 **** if (dry_run) return -1; if

Hi I'm sorry if this question has been asked and answered. Does anyone know that EMC Celerra filer can join samba 3 domain? Thanks,

Hi, I need to to open existing readonly files. Yes you are right, not the open call takes the time, but stat() system call. I looked at aio_pthread source, the lines which needs to be removed to make it work are just the lines which tests for O_CREAT|O_EXCL? What problems can cause such solution for readonly share?

Dear List, I'm trying to get diff/removed data and it's offset out. So I write a functions in receive_data. When I run backup, I found there is a weird behavior which I don't understand. i = recv_token(f_in, &data) will receive (i = -1, offset2 = 0) some where in the middle of the transfer procedure. That's to say, it's going to transfer the first data block from sender,

Hello, I'm migrating from 1.1.16 running in 4 debian lenny servers virtualized with xenserver and 1 core and 5GB of RAM to 2.1.5 running in 4 ubuntu 12.04 servers with 6 cpu cores and 16GB of RAM virtualized with VMWare, but I'm having lots a performance problems. I don't think that virtualization platform could be the problem, because the new servers running in xenserver has

Greetings, I am trying to join a EMC Celerra NS502 CIFS server to our Samba 3.0.21a domain controller. According to EMC, I was told that we need to manually create the machine account first. How is the best way to do this? We are using an openLDAP backend, using the idealx scripts. Joining a windows machine from the computer properties dialog of that machine works perfectly.

I found something interesting via strace. lda is writing a timestamp with utime before doign the fsync, but I'm really not a C guy, so I have no idea why that's going on via procmail and not via commandline. I assume it's related to the choice of pread64 vs read. when called from commandline (working): read(0, "July 14-20, 2013\n10 courses. Bon"..., 4096) = 4096
