[Samba] Samba 2.2.7a with Netware client is SLOW!

2002-12-19 Thread Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello, I had a system running nicely, replacing a Netware server with Samba 2.2.6. I had not removed the Novell client, or its IPX protocol from Win98 workstations, yet everything was working nicely. I upgraded to Samba 2.2.7a, and now all of a sudden, all the Win98 workstations that had the N

If Samba is corrupting the data files, then why wouldn't this be turned OFF by default? I would think data corruption would be a major, MAJOR problem, and reduce the usability of Samba. Is this really true? Bob On Wed, 18 Dec 2002 14:43:06 +0100, Jean-Paul ARGUDO wrote > > But, some times that

[Samba] How important are oplocks?

2002-12-17 Thread Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello, I'm wondering just how critical it really is to turn off oplocks. It appears that not only Windows 2k server, but also Netware 5 and above defaults to having these enabled. I just spoke with two software companies running databases off of file servers (no database server, just MDAC stuf

[Samba] Connecting to another printer

Hello, I'm replacing a Netware server, which has a printer share that redirects printing to either a client's computer, or a tcp/ip printer. How do I do the same thing in Samba? Bob -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mail

I just tried the example. Under a Mandrake 7.1 box running ext2, the file dies at 2gb. However, under Mandrake 8.2 and 9 with ext3, it DOES work (as in, there is no 2gb limit). So that being the case (that it's not the filesystem), why isn't Samba handling >2gb files? Bob andy thomas wrote:

You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I've had >2gb files on my ext3 drives, 2.4.x kernel. Bob On Tue, 10 Dec 2002 08:35:33 + (GMT), andy thomas wrote > On Tue, 10 Dec 2002, Bob Puff@NLE wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > I'm trying to set up a samba server for a friend who has a mac. He's running

[Samba] 2gb limit & weird filenames

2002-12-09 Thread Bob [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hello, I'm trying to set up a samba server for a friend who has a mac. He's running OSX, version 10.2. He's got some really big video editing files that are well in excess of 2gb. We're trying to back these up to the samba server, but it quits right around 2gb. That seems to be a magical numbe
