Hi Folks, I would really appreciate any words of wisdom people here could provide me.
I have Samba 2.2.7a, as shipped with RH 9.0, running on a server, supporting about 25 W2k clients. The linux kernel is running in SMP mode to use the Hyper-Threaded Pentium-4 CPU. I have tried to create the simplest SAMBA setup possible, so have no LDAP, ACLS, etc. The 25 w2k clients are all architects running CAD software and working on a major building design, so I cannot afford down time, nor unexpected server behaviour. The 2.2.7a Samba has been the epitome of reliability and efficiency. However, I really need to enable recycle bins, to better recover accidentally deleted files. I have tried to enable the recycle VFO in 2.2.7a, but with no success, so I am considering upgrading to Samba 3.x. My current plan is to shut down the SAMBA services, backup the /etc/samba directory, uninstall samba 2.2.7, install SAMBA 3.x, copy my /etc/samba back in, and restart samba. Q: Is there any advice that people would offer me on this? Q: Is there a particular version of Samba that I should upgrade to in preference to others? Q: Is there a simple HOW-TO on the recycle-bin VFO for 2.2.7? Q: Are there any additional procedures I should employ in the upgrade? Thanks in advance for any and all advice. Cheers!
