[Samba] Libreoffice and roaming profile log-off delay
samba --version Version 4.0.0rc3-GIT-56ffe75 AD and s3fs on the same box. libreoffice 3.6.1 Hi If a user has used libreoffice, his log-off time is around 3 minutes on both XP and w7. samba shows 50% and smbd shows 20% CPU usage during the delay. I can get the delay down to around 2 minutes by removing all of the optional libreoffice modules (such as the wiki publisher). The delay is less for subsequent log-off's but still a pita. Questions: When the user logs off, is the profile synced to the file server or is the whole lot copied again? Any ideas to work around this?

Cheers, Steve Hi Steve, if you are using roaming profiles, then when the user logons the entire profile is copied from the server to the client, when the user logs off the reverse happens, not good if you allow the profile to grow to any size. The cure is folder redirection or as microsoft now call it 'user virtulization', with this the users documents etc stop on the server and the My Documents folder, for instance, gets pointed to the new location. I can email you the instructions for XP if you are interested and point you to a website for W7, this is a bit different but works the same.

Hi Rowland. That would be great. I'll start with the XP and see how it goes.
