Can someone explain that some more.  Is that a tightening or loosing
of the restriction?
Or point me do a discussion about how it was decided to do this?

=== My concern
IIRC MAX_PATH is 512 under Windows, but it is a lie that cannot be
trusted.  It is just the limit for the old API.  The new Unicode APIs
do not honor that define.  I'm concerned this may be true of other
filesystems / OSes.

In particular with Robocopy that comes with Windows 2003 Resource Kit
you can work with pathnames up to 32K I believe it is.  (See the
Robocopy release notes for details).  A lot of tools are still
restricted to 512 chars, but I am fairly confident that 512 is no
longer a fundamental limitation with newer Windows products.

I'll implement a work-around for my situation, but I suggest a Samba
enhancement would be to change the behavior to be more obvious of
what's going on.

Maybe:

Linux name:   .
Windows Short Name: 
Windows Long Name:

Re: [Samba] Reproducible samba bug with directory name

[Greg Freemyer]

Simo,

I just tried to create a directory name ending with a dot from XP.
You're correct, it silently truncates the dot.

And I tried creating a simple test directory "asdf." from Linux on my
filesystem, and only the mangled name is showing up from XP.

Still seems like a bug to me especially since a cifs client shows the
correct name, but if this is "works as expected", I'll just be quiet
about it.

[Samba] Reproducible samba bug with directory name

[Greg Freemyer]

I just recreated this bug in samba-3.0.26a-3.3.

It is as simple as creating a directory named "F-08-6104 International
Management Assoc." (without the quotes), then looking at the name of
the directory via XP.

I've done it twice now:
OpenSUSE 10.2 + Samba 3.0.23d-19.7 + XFS, all from Novell
OpenSUSE 10.3 + samba-3.0.26a-3.3 + XFS, all from Novell

With both I get the same wrong name "FMIJ1P~A".

I don't have any other environments to test, maybe someone could try
other filesystems / OSes / Samba versions.

Thanks
Greg

[Samba] One time samba short name issue

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

I have a stable fileserver that had a burp this morning.  (OpenSUSE
10.2 + Samba 3.0.23d-19.7 + XFS, all from Novell)

A directory was created via a Rails App.  (like always on this machine).

Normally a traditional long filename and mangled short name are
created.  All is good even though I don't use short names for
anything.

Today, the longname somehow is reflecting what I assume is the mangled
short name?  Very strange.

>From Linux Local, I see the long name I expect.

>From a OpenSUSE 10.3 cifs client, I see the long name I expect.

>From XP and possibly some other Windows OSes, I see just the mangled
short name?

Ie.  "dir /X" only has one name and its the mangled short name in the
long name column.

I have not yet tried to remedy this.  I'm guessing from a Windows
client, I could do a rename to a random name, then rename back to what
XFS has named it and all will be good.

I can do that at any time, but if there is any diagnostic value in
analyzing this, I'll hold off.

Thanks

Re: [Samba] Samba enterprise performance?

I was thinking RAID6 Areca cards (2 GB of NVRAM/BBU), quad Xeon servers with 16

For those people reading this who suddenly think they need to run and
and get some Enterprise SATA disks:

Interesting term 'enterprise' sata disks.   The implication is that
they are in some way higher quality than standard sata disks.

IIUC, this is not true.  In fact for desktop or non-RAID use it is
actually the reverse.

Standard (non-enterprise) SATA disks place reliability as a primary
concern.  enterprise sata disks place consistent response time as a
primary concern.

This comes into play when there are media issues and crc errors are
being experienced trying to read the data from disk.

With the standard "desktop" firmware retry logic in the drive
electronics is invoked to in effort to minimize data loss.  This retry
logic can take up to 7 or 8 seconds AIUI.

With the enterprise firmware, there is no retry logic.  As soon as a
crc error occurs at the drive head level, the read is failed back to
the Sata controller.  The expectation is that the system has RAID
redundancy built in and that the data can be retrieved quicker from
the other disks than from the disk experiencing read issues.  This
also allows better tracking of drive tracking at the system level.

As I said, seems like an interesting definition of enterprise to me.

Thanks for all your and the team's hard work! Now if Lars will just build

David,

I have not been following this too closely, but your comment caught my
eye.  Have you experimented with rpmbuild?

For this situation I think you would just get the old 3.0.23b source
rpm from lars.

then
rpmbuild -bp  # this will extract the 23b source and apply any
suse specific patches.
apply the 3.0.23c patch to the source
rpmbuild -bc   # this will compile the patched code with the suse options
rpmbuild -bi# This should install the compiled code

I did not test the above process, but I've used rpmbuild -bb before to
back compile suse factory code to a released distro.  I did not have
any issues.

With Linux, what you dscribe is very easy, not sure about FreeBSD.

With Linux you would just use a loopback mount to mount the image.

ie.   
mount -o loop   /path_to_iso1   /path_to_mount_point1

Then use Samba to share the mount_points

You do know that 10 MB/sec is not horrible for what you describe above.

ie. You have a very low cost ide-controller structure.  You have
multiple drives per ide channel (in use at the same time?  I hope not
due to master/slave contention).

You don't describe any raid.  raid-10 is typically the fastest way to
go, but uses more drives.  A good 8-drive raid-10 is theoretically 4x
faster than no raid on writes and 8x faster on reads.  (Admittedly,
that is only in theory, but it should still be faster.)

You don't mention the filesystem, but I'm guessing ext3, which is also
not a great speed daemon.  I'm guessing you have the default
journaling setup.  Asssuming a journalling FS, you want to put the
journal on some dedicated spindles, not the same drives as the FS.

Basically, I would optimize your disk-subsystem speed before I started
worrying about your 1Gb/sec. LAN.

Personally, I would consider 3ware parallel IDE controllers, raid 5 at
a minimum (raid 10 if you can), xfs filesystem, dedicated journal
drive.

3ware has a white-paper describing a high-performance Linux setup. 
You might want to look at it.

With a $1000 3ware controller and lots of reconfiguration, you can
probably get your disk sub-system up to 100MB/sec with no probem. 
Even 200 or 300 should be achievable.

I missed the beginning of this, but if the question is what kind of
hardware ATA raid controller will support Raid 10  (striped sets of
mirrored disks), then I would look into the 3ware cards.

I've recently heard some complaints about the speed, but I don't know
how valid those complaints are and I have seen a lot of high
performance servers built around the 3ware cards with 2.4 kernels.

for traditional ATA drives, see:  http://www.3ware.com/products/parallel_ata.asp

for SATA drives, see:  http://www.3ware.com/products/serial_ata.asp

FYI: I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with Linux MD
(software raid), but the IDE bus only allows the master OR the slave
to be active at any one time.  This means that a seek command that
takes 10 msecs to complete causes the alternate drive to waste 10
msecs.  High performance IDE systems really should be designed around
master only configs.  The 3ware cards indeed only support drives
configured as master, so if you buy the 12 -port card and put 12
drives on it you would have 12 drives configured as master.

FYI2: Even with just 2 masters, most dual-channel motherboard ide
controllers I have tested cannot get 2x performance from the 2 drives.
 As a simple test boot a linux boot CD and do a raw dd between two
scratch drives and calculate the speed.

ie. time dd bs=4k count=100 if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdc

That will copy 4 GB.  A good setup should be able to do that in 2
minutes or so.  I have seem machines that take 5 or more minutes.

I use Samba / XFS / xfsdump with SUSE 9.0 at the office, so I know it
works with the 2.4 kernel.

If I had to guess, your /srv/shares/pdoxdata directory is not a mount point.

xfsdump works on an entire filesystem/partition.  I don't think is
allows dumping of a directory tree.

ie. The last arg of xfsdump has to be a mount point to my knowledge.

DRBD would not help this problem.  As you say the filesystem
corruption would immediately be duplicated to the alternate server.

OTOH a good journelled filesystem combined with dual-power supplies
and dual ups's should have a very high relaibility rate.  EXT3 seems
to get mentioned as the most reliable linux filesystem, so go with
that if reliability is your top concern.

They have their website hidden at http://www.drbd.org/;-)

But if you want to build a failover cluster with drbd as the
underlying network RAID1 layer, you will also want to look into
Linux-HA.  Linux-HA provides the heartbeat / failover logic typically
used to manage drbd.

http://www.linux-ha.org

FYI: I don't think Redhat supports any of the above.  (They have
alternate solutions they prefer.)  SUSE OTOH does support both
Linux-HA and drbd on there distro.  In particular with their SLES
server releases linux-ha/drbd is the recommended HA cluster solution
and they provide break/fix support.

Since drbd requires kernel patches, I would definately look into a
distro that has those built-in.

The linux-ha project is funded / sponsored by IBM and SUSE and has
thousands of production installs.

FYI2: I don't know if SUSE SLES officially supports linux-ha/drbd/samba or not.

We have the problem on some of our machines, and we are a pure workgroup setup.

BTW: I think this also happens with some of our Win2K servers, so this
is not a samba unique issue.

I think with Redhat buying the full version gets you access to RHN, It
tracks your actual config and allows you to easily download and install
updated (and tested) RPMs.  I think that is their main selling feature.

With SUSE, I think the full version has monitoring tools that are not
included in even the PRO version.  Likely non-GPL stuff, but I'm not
sure.

Another issue is ACLs.  I don't think the full Redhat release supports
them.  I don't know about Fedora.

[Samba] Can Samba export 2TB+ filesystems?

[Greg Freemyer]

Does Samba have any max filesytem limitations.

In particular can both 2.2.8 and 3.0 support 2TB+ filesystems.

For now, I am thinking of 6TB max, so I don't need to know about
Petabytes or Exabytes.

The other side of the question, is can Win9x, Win2K, etc. work with
filesystems over 2 TB.

If the above is in a FAQ somewhere, a url would be great.

re[2]: [Samba] samba backup software

[Greg Freemyer]

>> We are working on migrating up from ait2 technology, and are

Have you seen the new SAIT technology from Sony.

Uses AIT3 density media, but in a roughly DLT form factor.

The cartridge holds 5x the sq. in. of AIT, so you get 500 GB uncompressed on a single 
tape.

And since the form factor is close to DLT, the library manufacturers just have to 
replace the drives to use it.  (i.e. The robotics/slots don't have to change.)

I think someone already has announced a SAIT library.  (Search the news section of 
google for SAIT).

re: [Samba] samba backup software

[Greg Freemyer]

Rick,

I use XFS as my filesystem.  (included with SuSE/Mandrake/United Linux, patch avail. 
for Redhat and vanilla kernel)

It comes with a very powerful backup tool xfsdump.  xfsdump writes the backup level 
into each files metadata (i.e. EA - Extended Attributes).

A full backup is a level 0 backup.  

A level 1 backs up all files changed since the level 0.

A level 2, gets everything since the last level 1 (or 0).

A level 3, everything since the last level 2 (or 1 or 0).

Etc. thru level 9.   If you setup a nice schedule, you can ensure a small number of 
tapes req. for restore.

The other nice thing about xfsdump is that it backs up ACLs (if enabled in Samba).  
Most backup solutions don't do that.

Unfortunately, I don't think xfsdump has any support for an autoloader. (I don't have 
one).

But, I do think that Amanda can be used as a backup manager to handle the autoloader 
and invoke xfsdump as required. 

I've not used Amanda.

re[2]: [Samba] librsync ??

[Greg Freemyer]

Andrew,

Thanks for the effort, but librsync is not rsync.

Both used to be part of the overall samba effort, but even then did not share source 
code.

Just last week, librsync got its own sourceforge project site.

See http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=256348

Now I just need to figure out how to compile it in cygwin.

re: [Samba] librsync [Solved]

[Greg Freemyer]

I found the cvs repository at 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/librsync/librsync/

The sourceforge project was just setup a couple of days ago.  That must have been why 
google could not find it yesterday.

I believe the samba cvs site for librsync is now deprecated.

The 0.9.5.1 version I was looking for looks to me to be a Jun. 27 cvs snapshot from 
wherever cvs was at that time.

[Samba] librsync ??

All,

Does anyone know anything about librsync, and where it is currently maintained on the 
web?

It apparently is/was a samba project, but I'm not sure how it relates.

The authors are listed as:
 Martin Pool <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
 Andrew Tridgell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

but I suspect someone else did the 0.9.5.1 update, because only 0.9.5 is available on 
the rproxy site (http://rproxy.sourceforge.net/download.html).

It is used by rdiff-backup (http://rdiff-backup.stanford.edu/) and they have a tarball 
for 0.9.5.1 on their site, but if you download it and try to compile it you get 
problems with missing files.

I did a diff between 0.9.5 and 0.9.5.1 and there were about 3000 lines modified, so 
somebody has done a lot of work on it relatively recently.

0.9.5 does compile, but the above site says that it has memory leaks and the rdiff 
package will not work reliably.

I had a security hole that let a hacker get access to my passwd file one time.

I wasn't using shadow passwords because I thought the machine only would have

Within 48 hours of the hole being announced on a security website, they had my root

Fortunately, they were not smart enough to do any real damage.  They just filled my

re: [Samba] Problems building Samba 2.2.4 under HPUX 10.20

[Greg Freemyer]

Roland,

I tried to compile Samba for a HPUX 10.20 machine last week.

I did not need winbind, so I just edited the "Makefile" and deleted the few winbind 
related lines starting at line 664.

Unfortunately, the compile process got further, but died on another problem.

I decided it was more effort than it was worth.

My guess is the HPUX 10.20 is no longer tested against.  i.e. it is too old.

re[2]: [Samba] Backup software

[Greg Freemyer]

Charles,

I'm not a Samba expert, but I have been researching how best to back up Samba shares, 
especially as it relates to ACLs.

To use ACLs with Samba, I believe it is best to have a Filesystem that supports ACLs.

I only know of 2 that do:  "ext2/ext3 with the ACL patch" and XFS.

>From what I understand, it is preferred to backup "ext2/ext3 with the ACL patch" with 
>star.

And it is preferred to backup XFS with xfsdump.

If you don't use a filesystem that understands ACLs, then Samba maintains all the ACL 
info in a common file.

You as the administrator are responsible for creating a backup mechanism that captures 
the Samba ACL info.

That is easy if you are happy with doing a full share backup/restore, but if you want 
to be able to do individual file saves/restores, then you have to have some way of 
saving/restoring the ACL data on a file by file basis.

=== Backing up a Samba client

This was the original need, but from what I understand smbmount does not handle ACLs, 
so there is no way to get the remote ACL info. and back it up.

re: [Samba] Backup software

[Greg Freemyer]

To the best of my knowledge their is not an OpenSource backup method that will backup 
the ACLs on the client.

If your clients are using FAT, then you have no problems.

If they are running NTFS on the clients, then you have ACLs to worry about, and you 
will have to decide if you need the ACLs backed up up or not.

i.e. ACLs are the NTFS security info.  

Note: Samba ACLs can be backed up if you ensure you are running the right backup 
software like star or xfsdump.
