[Samba] samba shadow copy

2011-04-25 Thread Chaojie.Xiao
Hi ,all

I have some problems concerned with samba shadow copy ACL.

I have a public share folder which everyone can access and I create a snapshot 
for the share folder.
Since everyone can have access to the folder then it means everyone can recover 
the folder by shadow copy client in windows explorer.

I want to know is there any method to do ACL on the recovery in windows so that 
only specific users can recover the folder instead of everyone.

Many Thanks

Ben.

So there is no method to delete the file that is beging transferred if I 
shutdown the samba service or just close specific share folder with smbcontrol. 
Right?

In the latest not yet released versions we have added the
option log writeable files on exit = yes/no. This logs
all files that have been open for writing when an smbd exits
unexpectedly for some reason. With that option you will at
least know which files have been in that situation and take
care of them properly. You can find the corresponding patch
at

http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=commitdiff;h=b2f45f20

Please be aware that just shutting down Samba will lead to
corrupt files. We added that message for administrators who
want to be informed about those potentially corrupt files.

[Samba] delete file being transferred

2011-03-14 Thread Chaojie.Xiao
Hi ,all

the situation is that:  when I upload a big file to share 
folder in samba and during the transmission I want to make snapshot for the 
share folder.

So I have to stop the samba service to make the snapshot. After 
I stop samba service, the transmission is stopped but the file that is not 
transferred completely is still in the share folder.

so I want to know how to delete the file that is not 
transferred completely after I stop the transmission to make snapshot.

Thanks
Best Regards
Chaojie Xiao

I am currently using lvm snapshot. if I am uploading a big file to samba share 
folder and during the transmission I want to make a snapshot with lvcreate for 
the volume where share folder is.

If I make snapshot when file is still transferred it might exist some issue 
because the file is not complete. 

So I want to know is there any method to delete the file that is being 
transferred if I want to make a snapshot.

What exactly are you trying to achieve ? What kind of snapshots
are you using, and why do you have to stop Samba to do this ?

Sounds like you might need a custom VFS module to communicate
with your snapshot service ?
