Re: [Samba] samba with nfs mount in "path" and MS Office App's

Hi


> Is the samba server your PDC?

No. Actually i have no domain. The samba shares are only for a few internal 
clients which are in the same workgroup as the Samba Server.

But it looks like i've found the problem. I have now made a test with another 
volume on the Netapp which has "qtree" security style "mixed" (the live volume 
has "qtree" security style "unix"). This test volume i have mounted on the 
Samba Server with "nolock" option in NFS Options. It looks like this solved the 
problem because on this test volume the problems doesnt exists. In another test 
i've also tried qtree security style "ntfs" but this did not work at all...the 
clients did not even had access to this second test.

So it seems the "qtree security" style on the Netapp NFS Export Volume was the 
problem; maybe in connection with the "nolock" NFS Options.

I've to observe it further but for now it looks like the problem is solved.

Thanks for help

Hi

Thanks for the input so far

So far i've tried following:

Setting 

***
strict locking = yes
oplocks = no
***

in Smb.conf. This didnt work. Then i've tried to mount the nfs with "nolock" 
Option (but without above samba locking parameters). Problems still persists. 
I've need now to test some combinations of these settings.

I've also talked to a Netapp Engineer. The NFS Mount points to a FAS3140 
Cluster with Ontap 7.3.2 on it. The volume with the data which is referred in 
path of Samba config is a qtree. There are three different types of "qtree" 
security settings on Netapp Files: mixed,unix,windows. It might have something 
to do with the choosen security style. Netapp itself is using NFS3 (nfs4 can be 
turned on optionally): 
http://www.netapp.com/us/communities/tech-ontap/nfsv4-0408.html

I've also tried some setfacl commands on the nfs mount and it said: Operation 
not supported...

So i've got several possible reasons for the problem now:

- samba config (locking parameters)
- nfs mount options (locking parameters)
- Right issues (acl or similiar)
- qtree securtity style on Netapp

I will test some things and let you knowi will start with the netapp qtree 
issues...


Best Regards

[Samba] samba with nfs mount in "path" and MS Office App's

2011-10-12 Thread free4me
Hi Listmembers


Problem:
Windows Clients having problems with Microsoft Office App's (Excel, Word) when 
the files are on the Samba Share "documents" (which is mapped through a Windows 
Drive Letter on the client). Two clients have MS Office 2003. They can open doc 
Documents but when they want to save it error messages are appearing (message 
about to less space on drive, but this is a false errormessage). Saving of 
documents does not work and MS Office crashes. Sometimes Word is crashing 
already when the user opens a document. Same with XLS document. One client has 
MS Office 2010. He can open and save changes in Microsoft Office Documents. But 
saving changes, even small ones, are taking 30 seconds.

Clients which are using Open Office having no problems. They can even open and 
saving the MS Office document without Problem. Also with other Applications 
there are no problems (ex. opening pdf documents, txt documents with notepad 
etc.).

So the problems occurs only while working with this share "documents" and using 
Microsoft Office. I've got another share on the same Samba Server named 
"personal". The Microsoft Office clients have no problems on this share. The 
only difference is that the "path" from "personal" share in smb.conf is not a 
NFS Mount but a location on the harddisk of the server itselve (ext3 partition).

So the problem has something to do with using Samba shares which have their 
path on NFS Mounts.




System environment:


Centos 5.x Server 
Samba Version  3.0.33



***Samba Config
[global]
workgroup = OfficeLAN
server string = qube2
lanman auth = Yes
client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
time server = Yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g samba-clients -s 
/bin/false -M %u
logon script = %U.bat
logon drive = M:
logon home = \\%N\profiles\%U
logon path =
domain logons = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes
domain master = Yes
wins server = 10.0.10.12
wins support = Yes
ldap ssl = no
admin users = @sysadmin
printer admin = @sysadmin
cups options = raw


[documents]
comment = documents
path = /home/nfs_qube2/documents
force user = admin
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

***


The "documents" share is on a NFS Mount which is mounted in /etc/fstab 
10.0.10.13:/vol/nfs_qube2/office-data /home/nfs_qube2 nfs 
rw,bg,vers=3,tcp,timeo=600,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr



Thanks for any advice
