VSS and Samba Shares
Title: VSS and Samba Shares Hello, I would like to know if anyone is able to help with setting up a Samba share to run under VSS. Currently, I have a share set up that contains files under VSS. I have my Samba share all set and working and I am able to check files in and out of VSS. I am having one problem where checkins to VSS result in files being left writable by the user on the Linux side. Is there any way to get around this? My Share config snippet follows: [my_share] comment = my_share path = /var/my_share browseable = yes writable = yes valid users = @content @dev create mode = 0770 directory mask = 0770 directory mode = 0775 force directory mode = 0770 create mask = 0770 force create mode = 0660 public = no guest ok = no read only = no Thanks, Al ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.

ext2 and ext3 FS
I was wondering if there are any problems with having both ext2 and ext3 filesystems running on the same machine. I recently repartitioned a server under RAID 5 to make extra space on a /usr paritition. All went well and is working properly as far as I can tell. The partition was previously a ext3 but is now ext2 (since parted did not handle the creation of ext3). I suppose I could go ahead and create an ext3 outside of parted if there are any problems with this config. Also... After printing the partition table, I noticed that there is a Win95 Ext'd (LBA) parition? Not exactly sure what this is! When installing RH, all disks were clean. Could this be the array hardware?

RE: newbie question: how to speed up linux
I'm just going from my limited experience... I've had RH on a PII-200 w/ 128MB and w/ 256MB, a PII-233 w/ 256 MB RAM, and an AMD K something or other 300. Running an X environment on any of the above was not much fun. Given those setups, I found it less of a hassle to run in the shell. I spent far more time being productive than "waiting" for X apps to respond. KDE and Gnome would "run" but they didn't respond well. This all could've been my setup at the time, who knows... I do know that any windowing environment is going to be resource intensive. I now run on a PIII-450 with 512 MB RAM, a Voodoo 3D, a 30GB Maxtor 7200, and a 4GB Quantum Bigfoot. No complaints here! I'm surprised Win2k seemed to perform better given that same setup :) Win95, I can understand since it does not have as much of the overhead.
