Re: [Samba] [Repost] Offline Files No Go

2006-03-07 Thread Robert Schetterer

Hi Peter,
i dont know any bugs with samba and offline files, sync is a complex 
stuff on native windows servers too,
on the samba side there is only this parameter to controll them, so 
other stuff is client related

which can be very fine controlled by adms or/and local machine policies.
for sure you should have the latest samba version , and a brand new win 
client for testing with all patches  installed.

i recommend study tech net working with offline files.
As i did synced homes  for laptops  last time i had no problem with it, 
but i was not

very lucky about the gereral  implementation  of this feature in windows.
so i did it with rsync wich works more nice.
theres only one good stuff and this is the general controll of this 
behavior  in a domain

from NTconfig.pol which i like very much
Best Regards

Robert,
 I understand about the configuration options on the Windows side, but what
my problem is that no matter what I setup on the windows side, the clients
do not behave properly with offline files from my Samba server.  If I set
them offline from a windows server, there is no problem.  I only have
issues when I make a samba share available offline.   I need to make every
user's home directory available offline for laptop travel, but I can't get
the system to work.
I am really starting to think this is a bug in my version of Samba.

Thanks!  -Cheers, Peter.

Hi Peter,
there is only one parameter in smb.conf
with offline files to a share

from man smb.conf
csc policy (S)

 This stands for client-side caching policy, and specifies how
clients capable of offline caching will cache the files in the share.
The valid values are: manual, documents, programs, disable.

 These values correspond to those used on Windows servers.

 For example, shares containing roaming profiles can have offline
caching disabled using csc policy = disable.

 Default: csc policy = manual

 Example: csc policy = programs

but if you wanna fine tune i.e by users/groups/host etc you have
to do this with NTconfig.pol in the netlogon share created by
poledit.exe which is more flexible
so would say use csc policy = manual in your conf so it depends to users
entries when or what offline sync in a share, but i dont think this is a
good idea at the profiles share ( as i saw it in your conf ,i use
disable here )

I get an error similar to the following for every file that I try to make
available offline:
 Could not make 'somthing.doc' available offline. The specified file can
not be found.

If I create a new file, it appears as available offine, but I can neither
delete nor rename it.
At that point I usually start to get an Access Denied error on the entire
shared drive and am forced to restart.

The share is stored on a RHEL 3 server running Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.5 with an
EXT3 file system with ACL support enabled.
I have also included my global configuration at the bottom of this email.

Here is my test procedure.
  -I make a share available offline.
  -It synchronizes showing all current files as "Unable to make

'file.txt'

available offine on '\\server_b\profiles\testuser\My Documents'. The

system

cannot find the file specified."
  -I create new files in the folder while online.  They appear oplocked

in

samba status:
  DENY_NONE RDWR  EXCLUSIVE+BATCH  /home/testuser/My Documents/New

Text

Document.txt
  -I attempt to give the file a name. This results in "X:\My Documents
folder does not exist.  Do you want to create it?"
  -The oplock is removed.
  -If I edit the file and attempt to save changes, I get "This file

exists

with Read Only attributes. Please use a different name."
  -If I then name the file something else, the file is created on the
windows side and appears offline available. The file appears on the samba
server also.
  -If I try to save this file again, I repeat the "This file exists with
Read Only attributes..." situation from above.
  -Now, if I take the computer "offline" by disconnecting the NIC... all
files behave normally.
  -After reconnecting, all files that were changed on windows while

offline

are synced to the samba server.

Could this have something to do with case sensitivity or such?

[Samba] [Repost] Offline Files No Go

2006-03-01 Thread pfb4212
Dear All,
   I want to enable Offline Files support on several Win2K SP4 laptops.  We
have a samba file server.  I have researched as much as I could to get
answers and here is what I have.  I am unfortunately unable to get this
working properly.  If anyone can answer or point me in to a good resource,
I would greatly appreciate that. I am attempting to offline profile
directories mapped to network drive letter X:.  Here is my config for the
profiles share:
-
[Profiles]
 comment = Shared User Profiles
 path = /home
 invalid users = nobody, guest
 create mask = 0600
 directory mask = 0700
 map acl inherit = Yes
 case sensitive = Yes
 hide special files = Yes
 store dos attributes = Yes
 csc policy = documents
 dos filemode = Yes
 dos filetime resolution = Yes
-

I get an error similar to the following for every file that I try to make
available offline:
 Could not make 'somthing.doc' available offline. The specified file can
not be found.

If I create a new file, it appears as available offine, but I can neither
delete nor rename it.
At that point I usually start to get an Access Denied error on the entire
shared drive and am forced to restart.

The share is stored on a RHEL 3 server running Samba 3.0.9-1.3E.5 with an
EXT3 file system with ACL support enabled.
I have also included my global configuration at the bottom of this email.

Here is my test procedure.
  -I make a share available offline.
  -It synchronizes showing all current files as "Unable to make 'file.txt'
available offine on '\\server_b\profiles\testuser\My Documents'. The system
cannot find the file specified."
  -I create new files in the folder while online.  They appear oplocked in
samba status:
  DENY_NONE RDWR  EXCLUSIVE+BATCH  /home/testuser/My Documents/New Text
Document.txt
  -I attempt to give the file a name. This results in "X:\My Documents
folder does not exist.  Do you want to create it?"
  -The oplock is removed.
  -If I edit the file and attempt to save changes, I get "This file exists
with Read Only attributes. Please use a different name."
  -If I then name the file something else, the file is created on the
windows side and appears offline available. The file appears on the samba
server also.
  -If I try to save this file again, I repeat the "This file exists with
Read Only attributes..." situation from above.
  -Now, if I take the computer "offline" by disconnecting the NIC... all
files behave normally.
  -After reconnecting, all files that were changed on windows while offline
are synced to the samba server.

Could this have something to do with case sensitivity or such?

ANY help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!  -Cheers, Peter.
