[Samba] Copying paused under ctdb when the slave node is reboot
Hi, Experts I do the copying test with 2-nodes cluster under ctdb mode. A win2k3 client copies a big file to the share through the public ip of the master. During the copying, I reboot the slave node forcely. Then, the copying through the public ip of the master pause for about 10 sec. I wonder the ctdbd disturb the smbd. How the ctdbd communicate withe the smbd. Is the copying disturbed during the ctdbd recover? And how long is the smbd downtime? What is the factor of the downtime? e.g. node number, the stress on the master? -- Best Regards.

[Samba] Copying files between 2 samba serv with ACL in mind using winbind database - solution?
Hi The question how to copy files and preserve ACLs appears from time to time but I have not find the right (stable and working) solution so far on this list and on the other Internet sites. So after some thinking I have 'discovered' my own solution. But what is the situation. I have old samba 3.0.24 (debian) on old computer. Now there is new computer with new samba 3.5.6 (debian 6.x). Both are working as domain member servers (in the same domain). The problem is: copy files form old to new server keeping in mind that there are 100 users with their ACLs on the files. I'm using winbindd. There are of course different UID-SID mappings on those servers so the solutions are two (IMHO): 1. Somehow set the new server mappings on the copied files or 2. Transfer the mappings itself from old to new server Ad.1 It is possible using some windows station to copy all the files from one server to another. But it is a bit extra work and time consuming. Ad.2 Use whatever linux copy tools (tar etc) to copy files. Faster but here is the problem I have faced. First I have dumped winbindd_idmap.tdb mapping on oldserver: net idmap dump /var/lib/samba/winbindd_idmap.tdb idmap_dump.txt copied this file to new server and restored it: net idmap restore /var/lib/samba/winbindd_idmap.tdb idmap_dump.txt during this restore operation the following errors (warnings?) appeared: ignoring invalid line [] . ignoring invalid line [BB] . Why? What does it mean? Ignore or it is serious? Looking at the dumped file it seems to be ok. So I have tried other solution, just copied the database file winbindd_idmap.tdb from old to new server. After flushing the samba cache net cache flush and restarting winbind the ACLs appeared to be the same on both servers. So after untaring the files from old server it just started to work. But my question: is it safe to do it the way I did it? The fields in databases tends to change so I have no idea if winbindd_idmap.tdb on the samba 3.0 is the same as on the 3.5?

This could also point to a network problem. Check whether your NIC's flow control is set to Auto-negotiation.

[Samba] copying machine trust account password from windows to samba
hi folks, I have a small problem with joining samba to an Active Directory domain would really appreciate the help of some Samba Gurus. I have windows and linux both installed on my workstation. My windows installation is joined to an Active Directory domain and I would like my linux installation to join the same domain with the same identity using Samba. The problem is, I don't have access to domain administrator credentials and so would like to use the same machine trust account password as is used by the windows installation, in Samba too. So, I understand that I need to supply the correct machine trust account password to Samba, which I was able to obtain from windows by dumping the LSA secret named $MACHINE.ACC. The problem is, this password is in a UCS-2 (little-endian) encoding and If I just copy and paste the same into the SECRETS/MACHINE_ACCOUNT/PASSWORD key (in the secrets.tdb file), it does not work (I get some sort of kerberos authentication failed error). I even tried to convert the password to UTF8 encoding and feed the resulting byte string to samba and that ran into some problems too. So my question is, how do I make Samba interpret the UCS-2 encoded machine trust account password correctly? If I can do this, I can make Samba join the domain too, just by having copied the identity and credentials from the windows installation. any helpful suggestions/ comments? thanks -dev -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
[Samba] Copying (Samba - WinXP SP2) MATLAB generated .jpg files very slow.
Greetings, This is a interesting problem. One of our researchers uses MATLAB to generate jpg files as part of his vision research. When he copies these files from the file server, it is very slow. I tried 3.0.28a and I see the same problem as we have with 3.0.28. Here are some interesting stats. 1) MATLAB generated files: command: robocopy Y:\23_1 C:\23_1 /e dirs: 2 files: 262 bytes: 12.75MB time: 3min 15 seconds 2) Same files resaved with IfranView command: robocopy Y:\23_1b C:\23_1b /e dirs: 2 files: 260 bytes: 22.05MB time: 19 seconds This is only a subset of the files that the user copies. The full directory consists of 8939 files over 101 directories for a total of 402MB and this takes 1 Hr,12 minutes and 5 seconds (Samba 3.0.28 - WinXP SP2) verses 3 minutes 30 seconds for a WinXP SP2 - WinXP SP2 copy.

[Samba] copying large number of files from XP to Samba fails
I have a new Sun Fire AMD64 server running Solaris 10 12/06 and Samba 3.0.21b. I have migrated a configuration file from an older RHEL machine running Samba 2.2.x. On this new machine, if one tries to copy a large number of files from a Windows XP client to the server, the copy starts and runs for a few minutes, but then stops. The error message on the XP machine is Cannot copy [filename]: The specified network name is no longer available.

[Samba] Copying Files from XP to Samba (help needed)
I am still desperately trying to figure out why I get such a horrible performance trying to copy files from XP to Samba (below is my original post to illustrate the context. Meanwhile, I found a pretty remarkable pattern in the network traces. Generally, the packets send from the XP machine look like this: 01: WriteAndXRequest 60 kBytes (1392 bytes payload) 02: 1460 bytes ...(usual time delta between 2 packets 0.0001 secs) 42: 1460 bytes delta: 0.05 - 0.3 secs 43: last 188 bytes .. WriteAndXResponse from Samba machine, da capo It seems like what is slowing the transfer down so dramatically, is the long gap before the last 188 bytes are sent. I can't see anything reasonable the XP machine could be waiting for - it already got the ack for the last preceding packet. To emphasize again, this is not a general networking problem between the 2 machines; it only (at leas AFAIK) occurs when copying large files from Windows XP to Samba shares (and at that occasion I could reproduce it with all the Samba servers and XP clients that I checked so far) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Peter Daum I noted an extremely poor performance when copying big files from a windows xp client to a samba share. The exact version of samba does not seem to matter: I tried several different samba servers with versions between 3.014 and 3.0.23b running on Linux 2.4.32 and 2.6.17 (machines and network otherwise idle, clients connected via fast ethernet, servers via Gbit; network performance in both directions around 95 Mbit/s). I made several tests copying a 1GB file with Windows 98 and Windows XP clients. Reading the file from the server takes predictably around 105 seconds (~9.75 MB/s). Writing to the server takes only slightly longer on Win98 (130 seconds, ~8 MB/s) while the same takes approximately 45 minutes from a XP client (I don't know whether this matters, I noted that on the XP write test, the directory listing on the server immediately shows a file with the final size - obviously a sparse file, repeatedly invoking du shows the gradually increasing actual size). I wrote a little test program that just writes data to a file and shows the throughput; the transfer rates I get that way are pretty reasonable, so it is not a general problem but something that only occurs on specific operations like copying. Tracing the network traffic also didn't tell me what the problem might be: XP uses for copying as well as for other write operations WriteAndXRequest, the only peculiarity I noticed is the slightly exotic block size of 61440 bytes per request when copying (which also doesn't seem to be the problem - Win98 uses the same block size with WriteRaw) Has anybody else made similar experiences?

[Samba] Copying printer drivers across many servers
List, I am deploying a number of Samba servers across a WAN. To date I have manually uploaded printer drivers from an XP client to the Samba server. But it's slow, and I systematically upload the same drivers over and over again. I'm not quite sure of the recipe, but I'm sure there must be a way of replicating all the drivers, from a central point, out to the remote servers. Copying the files is simple enough, but how do I make the various .tdb files contain the right records? Has anyone done something like this before?

Re: [Samba] Copying printer drivers across many servers
I've been largely able to do this by copying everything in the /var/lib/samba directory, then removing all the tdb's in /var/lib/samba/printing. (/var/lib might be something else depending on your OS/config). You'd do this after installing the samba packages but before joining a domain and starting the service. You'll also need to copy all the printer drivers, which I put in /usr/share/samba/printers, but that would depend on your print$ definition. Doing it this way seems to work for about 95% of the printer drivers we use, YMMV. On Mar 7, 2005, at 5:06 AM, David Landgren wrote: List, I am deploying a number of Samba servers across a WAN.

I believe rsync will do what you want. I use it for backing up files from one machine to another. Here's the command i usually use: rsync -avvR --delete --rsh=ssh -c arcfour /source remote:/remotedir where source is the source directory on the machine being copied, remote is the remote server name, and remotedir is where you want the files to go on the remote server. The -c arcfour in the ssh command seems to speed the transfer.

[Samba] copying over an existing file when not owner
SuSE 8.2/Samba 3.0.4-SerNet-SuSE One expects file's owner and date to be preserved when copying a file to an SMB share. But if a file with the same name is already there there are two different ways as to who will ultimately own the new file and what date will be stamped depending upon whether the file belongs to the copier or to someone else. If I try to copy a file to a samba share which already contains an earlier version of the same file, the file will still belong to me and the date will be the date of the source file. But if I copy a file over an existing homonymous file which belongs to someone else, then the file fill still belong to that other user but the date will be the date at the moment of copying. I've noticed that in both cases an overwritten file keeps the same i-Node number (xfs), which is a little unexpected. I'd expect the old file to be deleted and a new one created but perhaps accidentally it's always the same free i-Node which gets assigned to it. Is there a way to correct this behaviour? I mean, if a file with the same name gets overwritten by copying it should belong to the copier and carry its original modification date, not the update time. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] copying to share from a cdrom
Good day all, and sorry if this one is obvious but I haven't found a solution yet. When my users copy data off of a cdrom in Win2K to a samba share on a Solaris box, the files maintain their read only status (r-xr--r--) despite the create masks in my smb.conf. Is there a way to have these files be copied and have the correct permissions mask applied to it such that they copy files off of a CDROM and can then have them be writeable on the Solaris side without them having to chmod them manually?

[Samba] Copying profiles to a new samba server
Well I had to set up Samba on a new server and everything seem to went pretty well for the most part but now when I try to log on the domain it gives me an error message saying it couldn't load the profile on the server. What I did was set up new server with pretty much the same configuration, then one evening when there was nobody here I copied all the profiles and other stuff from the old server to the new one and now the profiles don't work. Any ideas? Jean-Rene Cormier -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Any ideas? Yes. The profiles (in particular the NTUser.DAT file) are keyed to the domain and user SIDs. Samba-3 will has a tool called 'profiles' that allows you to change the SIDs to those on the local domain. The only way you can solve your problem now is to find out the SID for the old domain and change the new controller SID to it. You can use smbpasswd with the -S DOMAIN and -W SID options. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] Copying Files
For some reason when I try to copy some files from a windows machine to a samba share on a particular Linux server it creates the filename on the share and then gives me the following error: This folder already contains a file named foo.exe Would you like to replace the existing file which is 0 bytes with this one which is 13.4mb It does not do this with all files. I copied two different iso files that are approximately 650mb fine several times but I have tried with exe files and some work while some do not. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] copying files to windows - permissions, time
I use Samba to access a Windows 98 box from linux. When I copy a file from linux to win98, there are two annoying problems: - it complains it cannot set permissions on the new file on windows - it should logically ignore all such errors (the FAT volumes mounted in fstab can have a quiet option for this, but it does not work for smbfs volumes). - the new file gets current date and time, instead of the original file's date and time. I've searched through manuals but found nothing about how to fix these annoyances.
