The parameters 'force create mode' and 'force directory mode' have no effect when the option 'unix extensions' is active. The documentation does not report any interaction between the unix extensions and the forced modes, so I'm assuming it's a bug.I'd like to know if it is a known bug ?Has it been solved, if so in which version ? My server runs Debian lenny,

Hello all, I have 2 identical Dell r510 servers with 10gig card, running centos 6 with samba-3.5.4-68.el6_0.2.x86_64. I setup 16G ramdisk samba share on both and ran cp from local ramdisk to samba ramdisk mount. If I cp 12 1-gig files, I get combined 100MB/s transfer rate. Single file cp maxes out at about 15MB/s. Ftp transfer give me over 300MB/s. Running with 9000 MTU. Most smb.conf is

Hey folks, I've seen questions similar to this asked in the archives, but didn't really find a suitable answer. I'm trying to send backups to a Windows2000 share, and I'm having trouble with large files: [root@mail backups]# cp -R 20050208/ /mnt/backup/ File size limit exceeded It only copies 2,147,483,647 bytes, and the file is 5,030,998,091. I could split up

Hello, Recently, the following problem started happening with a particular samba server: If i have a file open for reading (say, a pdf in xpdf) and then try to write to it (say, through recompiling a latex document) it complains that it cannot open the file for writing. this seems like a file lock issue but I am unsure where it is happening. My previous usage should be perfectly safe since

I'm backing up a bunch of Windows machines onto a linux box (FC3, Samba 3.0.8-0.pre1.3) and it works great... UNLESS some idiot disconnects or shuts down his computer while I'm running the backup, and then my rsync command hangs while trying to copy the files from that computer's smbmounted drive to the server. Isn't there some sort of way to soft mount the samba share or

I'm using debian Sarge, Samba 3.0.6-3, Kernel 2.6.8 I use smbmount //server/share mymountpt -oguest which connects fine, but it all dies (hangs) if I try to look in that mounted directory with konqueror in kde OR nautillus in gnome. In dmesg of the server computer I get: smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-512, breaking and the same but with error -13 smb_add_request ... Timed Out! this last

Hi, I was trying smbmount (SuSE's samba-client-3.0.20b-3.4). The mount command replied: cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 9451: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed No I'd suggest to change the message at least: It's unclear who "we" is: The Samba Team, the client, or the server The server is a "Windows 2003 server",

Hi list. I am wondering if I am running the right software to get my windows 7 shares mounted. could someone please tell me, what is the difference between samba, and smbclient? at the moment, I have samba and smbclient installed. I also have smbfs installed, though I understand this is deprecated, I just thought I might be able to get smbfs to work whereas I can't get samba, smbclient and

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

Hello, I have a little problem which I can't solve with Samba used under Debian Squeeze. (version of Samba : 3.5.6) I made a transfer speed between Samba server and a samba mount on the same PC copy to RAM and the same file directly to RAM. 1. HDD to RAM => 105-115Mo/s 2. Shared the same HDD directory with samba and mount to "/media" locally with (mount -t smbfs) : Samba to RAM

Hi: I have a problem with XEN and networking on a AMD Turion64 laptop. The network interface is a Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5751M PCI express. I have the problem on both RHEL5 and SUSE SLES 10 but I am troubleshooting it on RHEL. When I run the standard kernel, the eth0 interface works absolutely fine with either DHCP or a static IP address. When I boot the XEX kernel, eth0 fails to

Greetings, I am working on getting mount.cifs version: 1.11-3.2.4 on debian to mount a share on a samba server Version 3.0.13-1.1-SUSE on SuSe. This was working on older debian systems, but upon upgrading some of the systems to Lenny I am now having trouble mounting shares. Again, this was working and I have smbfs installed on the systems (which is what I used before). The samba server is set

??Hi all! We use Samba 3 server for some video stuff (editing, rendering, and so on) -- that's why performance is critical. We've tried a lot smb.conf options, but Samba can't satisfy our requirements. Our server configuration is as following: * Hard drive: RAID5 (8 x Seagate 7200.10), 3ware 9550SX-8LP controller * NICs (trunked): 2 x Broadcom NetXtreme BCM5704 * Processor: Opteron

>From a linux box, I mount a native NT share (mount -t smbfs -o<options, etc. etc>). I want to be able to do an 'ls -l' in that share and have the owner/group information show the right thing. Currently, no matter what the ACLs on the file on the NT side, from linux, an 'ls -l' shows 'root' as the owner/group. I was expecting winbind to work similar to ypbind in

Using Samba 3.0.9-Debian on Linspire 5.0.59. Server running is a Windows 2003 Server. I am trying to mount a share on the server but getting error message: cli_negprot: SMB signing is mandatory and we have disabled it. 8919: protocol negotiation failed SMB connection failed In smb.conf I have changed setting "server signing = no" to "server signing = required" but

-----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

Does samba 3.0.23c not support the use of O_DIRECT? When I try to open an smbmount'd file using O_DIRECT, I get EINVAL. I am able to use O_DIRECT with no problems on a block device and nfs mounts, so I know the kernel supports it. samba: 3.0.23c kernel: 2.6.9-42.0.3.EL (32-bit) I am using the below code for my test. smb fails on open(2). #include <fcntl.h> #include

Greetings All, My problem is trying to mount an SMB share from Fedora Core5 to a Windows 98 Machine. Before upgrading from FC4 to FC5 everything worked. I have searched around and it appears that the smbmount and mount -t smbfs options have been deprecated in Samba 3.0.22-1 in favor of CIFS. The command I have been trying now is: mount -t cifs //192.168.0.126/laptop /mnt/share -o username=chime

Hi there I recall in times past that when a locked file on a Windows server was accessed by smbfs, you received a kind of "text file busy" type error under Linux. However, on our CentOS4 servers running mount.cifs, accessing a locked file now only reports a "Permission denied" Wireshark shows the server sending "STATUS_FILE_LOCK_CONFLICT" errors to Linux, but it

Hi, I'm having some problems with reading files with special characters from samba shares. The characters are for example '?' and '?' (and mainly all umlaut chracters). Before I have been using Fedora Core with ISO8859-1 as local character encoding and everything was OK when I mounted the samba share using options "iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850" with smbmount
