RE: [Samba] oplocks, QuickBooks (Samba 3)

[Liz Ackerman]

Sorry, didn't mean for that to go to you personally, must remember to choose
reply all and remove personal emails ;o)

I am still curious, I have this for my quickbooks share:

[accting]
comment = Accounting Volume
path = /accting
writeable = yes
valid users = list of valid users
oplocks = no
level2 oplocks = no
force group = group
force user = user
inherit permissions = yes
create mask = 0771
directory mask = 0771
vfs object = recycle:recycle
recycle:repository = .deleted
recycle:keeptree = Yes
recycle:touch = Yes
recycle:versions = Yes

Is there anything in this config you would suggest changing/removing/adding?

[Samba] Seeking help with Samba shares & OPLOCKS & Quickbooks databases

[Liz Ackerman]

I thought I had things figured out, but guess not.  I have multi-user
Quickbooks databases that functioned fine on a Novell server but are
behaving badly on a Samba share.  I have created a separate share for the
Quickbook databases, users are running Win XP Pro, latest patches, and the
Quickbooks application installed on the desktop.  It is a multiuser version.

Server is RedHat ES 3, Samba 3.0.14.  Here is the config for the Quickbooks
share:

[accting]
 comment = Accounting Volume
 path = /accting
 writeable = yes
 valid users = a list of valid users
 level2 oplocks = no
 veto oplock files = /*.*db/*.ldb/*.mde/*.xls/*.QB*/*.*/
 blocking locks = no
 locking = no
 strict locking = no
 share modes = no

The first user opens the database, and as soon as the second person attempts
to access the same database, the database is corrupting and crashing.

Does anyone else out there have a similar setup or experience that works and
can help me resolve my issue??

Much thanks!

Liz

[Samba] Unable to get recycle to work

[Liz Ackerman]

I have this one remaining issue before I can declare my Samba rollout to be
successful.  I have been trying to implement the recycle feature.  My server
is a Dell Intel, with Redhat Enterprise 3.0 Linux and Samba 3.0.14 (I
believe I have all the string and the periods in the right place).

Here is the recycle configuration I have for a share, as my test:

[contractors]
comment = Contractors database files
path = /database/contractors
writeable = yes
guest ok = yes
vfs object = /usr/lib/samba/vfs/recycle.so
vfs options = /etc/samba/recycle.conf
;recycle:repository = .deleted
;recycle:keeptree = Yes
;recycle:touch = Yes
;recycle:versions = No
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0777
force group = everyone
oplocks = no
level2 oplocks = no
blocking locks = no
locking = no
strict locking = no
share modes = no
veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.ldb/*.mde/

I have also tried entering the options in the smb.conf instead of using the
recycle.conf file, as you can see

Errors I get are (snipped from log file):

[Samba] Where to find vfstest?

[Liz Ackerman]

I am running Samba 3 on RedHat Enterprise ES rel 3 on an Intel box.  I read
a man page about vfstest, but I am not able to find any such file on my
system.  Can someone direct me to where I might find this file?

Thanks.

[Samba] SMB service not starting automatically

[Liz Ackerman]

The smb service is not starting automatically.  I can type service smb start
at the prompt and it loads, and I can then connect, but its not loading
automatically as it used to.  Can someone point me in the right direction as
what file I need to change to make it load at startup.  Thanks!
