[Samba] Sharing the \ filesystem - different samba versions
This may sound stupid, but I'm honestly missing it - I was running Fedora 5, samba version 3.0.24. I just switch to Centos 5, samba version 3.0.23c. I made no changes to my smb.conf. I used to have the / filesystem shared as sys. that no longer works - the 'lowest' on the tree I can share now is the next level up (/home, /etc, whatever) - the root filesystem just won't allow me to mount. my user permissions seem to be correct. Any clues? Thanks! Mike- -- If you're not confused, you're not trying hard enough. -- Please note - Due to the intense volume of spam, we have installed site-wide spam filters at catherders.com.

Thanks! The case sensitivity might be a problem, but maybe I can work something out... Right now the filenames are mixed case and some of the software that maintains the contents will have to be rewritten. The biggest issue will be the users, as usual. The filenames show up in a number of the places we use the data, and I don't think I'm going to impress anyone with all upper (or lower) case names, but it may be the only way we can make this work right, in which case they'll learn to love it. Is there any other option? Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.

[Samba] File list Performance question
I have a server running SuSE 9.3 (Samba 3.0.13-1.1). The underlying filesystem is xfs, and the NICs are Netgear gigabit. 2 Gb of ram in a P4/3.0 Ghz. The workstations are windows XP Pro, with all service packs installed, on P4 3+ Ghz, 1-2 Gb of ram. (varies a bit by workstation) I have one particular tree on the server that contains over 12K files in a few hundred subdirs. Breaking it up isn't an option. I'm aware that there are tons of parameters and options in the smb.conf file, many having to do with performance, but I could use a pointer. When the users try to open a file, the select file listbox in ANY windows app is taking an eternity to populate. The transfer speed of the files is fine, but is there a paticular way to speed up the findfirst/findnext loop that populates the list? Thanks! Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.
