Re: [Samba] Microsoft OneNote 2007 painfully slow
We have a user trying to share a OneNote 2007 notebook and it takes minutes to load a 20 KB notebook. I've opened a 500 KB Excel spreadsheet from the same share and it took seconds. Has anyone else run into this problem? We are running Samba 3.4.8 on Debian Squeeze. Thanks, Robert LeBlanc Life Sciences Undergraduate Education Computer Support Brigham Young University --- When I have run into stuff like this it is because an application is trying to modify security permissions on the files that it doesn't have the right to (like with creater\owner, etc.). Given that M$ is fond of creating temporary lock files, etc. you may want to start looking there first. -=Andrew I don't recall seeing any temp files like Word/Excel/etc 2007 (we ran into that problem, in fact I still have a script running every 15 minutes to scan the file system and 'fix' the permissions). I'll watch the directory as I open up the NoteBook and see if I can see any funny business.

We ran into an issue with Blackberry backups a while back where the Blackberry Desktop Manager somehow managed to convince the windows server that was hosting them to change the permissions on the backup file to the user _only_ having access. What's really odd about this is that the users don't have permission to change permissions, and System/Administrators should have full rights by inheritance. Yet somehow a remote workstation managed to convince windoze to bypass inheritance and the non-ability to change security permissions. At least on a linux box root can still access/modify the files but I had a hell of a time getting them off the windoze box. -=Andrew -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba

Can you set the user's smbd to debug level 10 and look into the timestamped log and see where there are gaps in the timestamp record ? That should give you a clue as to what might be going on. Jeremy. How can I set a single user's smbd process to debug 10? We have hundreds of users on this system so I don't want to fill up the disks with logs from everyone.

That is really cool, thanks for sharing! I could not get the debuging to work with just smb:10, I had to set all the logs to level 10 to get anything, and then the log kept disappearing. I changed the 10M limit in smb.conf to 100M and reloaded smbd, but for some reason, the log would still get wiped and started over again. I can't get a good log, if I watch the size of the log, it's all over the place, I don't know how to get a good log file. I moved the OneNote Notebook to a Windows server and when I launch it, it would take about 6 seconds to load (OneNote does not have the notebook, I browse to the share and open it. When I'm done, I right-click the notebook and close it, otherwise OneNote would open really fast and then sync the notebook in the background). On the Samba share, it consistently takes 2 minutes and 10 seconds. From some of the logs, it looks like the whole smbd process is restarted as it gets all the information about my user (SIDs, groups, etc). I'm still at a loss as to what to do.
