Hai Doug, The settings i suggested are for 3.5.x, they does not exist in 3.0 The "upgrade" problems are not really upgrade problems, but security fixes and new parameters in samba.
Im not a centos user but i'll try to help. what you can do before the samba upgrade. on the old server testparm -v > old.txt and on the new server. testparm -v > new.txt diff old.txt new.txt | less and compair. The problems can come from the kernel. If the 2.6.18 = 2.6.32+ then it could be. cifs, locking etc has changed in the kernel. so in the diff look first for the locking parameters with the diff. i suggest looking here also. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/locking.html search for Samba Oplocks Control Microsoft Outlook's personal folders (*.pst) react quite badly to oplocks. If in doubt, disable oplocks and tune your system from that point. so you can try that. good luck, Louis >-----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- >Van: Doug Tucker [mailto:[email protected]] >Verzonden: 2011-05-10 17:03 >Aan: L.P.H. van Belle >CC: [email protected] >Onderwerp: Re: [Samba] Microsoft Outlook pst files unable to >open or create > >I am using the kernel supplied by centos for 5.5.
