The new Unicode APIs do not honor that define. I'm concerned this may be true of other filesystems / OSes. In particular with Robocopy that comes with Windows 2003 Resource Kit you can work with pathnames up to 32K I believe it is. (See the Robocopy release notes for details).

[Samba] Reproducible samba bug with directory name

As you are working on a unix machine you can do that but samba has to change that before returning it to Windows clients. Just dropping the dot is not possible it would be way too easy to have conflicts. Mangling is the only option.

For those people reading this who suddenly think they need to run and and get some Enterprise SATA disks: Interesting term 'enterprise' sata disks. The implication is that they are in some way higher quality than standard sata disks. IIUC, this is not true. In fact for desktop or non-RAID use it is actually the reverse. Standard (non-enterprise) SATA disks place reliability as a primary concern. enterprise sata disks place consistent response time as a primary concern. This comes into play when there are media issues and crc errors are being experienced trying to read the data from disk. With the standard desktop firmware retry logic in the drive electronics is invoked to in effort to minimize data loss. This retry logic can take up to 7 or 8 seconds AIUI. With the enterprise firmware, there is no retry logic. As soon as a crc error occurs at the drive head level, the read is failed back to the Sata controller. The expectation is that the system has RAID redundancy built in and that the data can be retrieved quicker from the other disks than from the disk experiencing read issues. This also allows better tracking of drive tracking at the system level. As I said, seems like an interesting definition of enterprise to me.

I have seen my transfers start out as high as 50 Megabytes per second, but then they slowly go down (seen it go as low as 1 Megabyte per sec) My guess is if I added more memory to the server that time for it to slow down would be increased a bit. (I was going to confirm that this weekend) You do know that 10 MB/sec is not horrible for what you describe above. ie. You have a very low cost ide-controller structure. You have multiple drives per ide channel (in use at the same time? I hope not due to master/slave contention). You don't describe any raid. raid-10 is typically the fastest way to go, but uses more drives. A good 8-drive raid-10 is theoretically 4x faster than no raid on writes and 8x faster on reads. (Admittedly, that is only in theory, but it should still be faster.) You don't mention the filesystem, but I'm guessing ext3, which is also not a great speed daemon. I'm guessing you have the default journaling setup. Asssuming a journalling FS, you want to put the journal on some dedicated spindles, not the same drives as the FS. Basically, I would optimize your disk-subsystem speed before I started worrying about your 1Gb/sec. LAN. Personally, I would consider 3ware parallel IDE controllers, raid 5 at a minimum (raid 10 if you can), xfs filesystem, dedicated journal drive. 3ware has a white-paper describing a high-performance Linux setup. You might want to look at it. With a $1000 3ware controller and lots of reconfiguration, you can probably get your disk sub-system up to 100MB/sec with no probem. Even 200 or 300 should be achievable.

re: [Samba] samba backup software
Rick, I use XFS as my filesystem. (included with SuSE/Mandrake/United Linux, patch avail. for Redhat and vanilla kernel) It comes with a very powerful backup tool xfsdump. xfsdump writes the backup level into each files metadata (i.e. EA - Extended Attributes). A full backup is a level 0 backup. A level 1 backs up all files changed since the level 0. A level 2, gets everything since the last level 1 (or 0). A level 3, everything since the last level 2 (or 1 or 0). Etc. thru level 9. If you setup a nice schedule, you can ensure a small number of tapes req. for restore. The other nice thing about xfsdump is that it backs up ACLs (if enabled in Samba). Most backup solutions don't do that. Unfortunately, I don't think xfsdump has any support for an autoloader. (I don't have one). But, I do think that Amanda can be used as a backup manager to handle the autoloader and invoke xfsdump as required. I've not used Amanda. Greg I'm curious to what people are using for backing up their samba servers. Here's are some specs to consider: - 1TB (yes, that's terabyte) of data - multiple servers backup to one tape drive connected to a server (preferably a linux system) - using an autoloader (in this case, an HP 1/9 LTO system) - need to be able to backup daily changes and/or changes since last full backup Currently I'm using Backup Exec from NetWare. The *nix client has no support to do anything but a full. The archive bit obviously won't work, and backing up based on date doesn't seem to work either (it still does a full). I'm interested in finding a native linux solution since I don't see a lot of point in having to use a Windows server with a *nix client when I'm trying to get away from Windows. If you have suggestions or are using something you are happy with, please respond. Currently, I'm evaluating Novastor's Novanet 8.5. I know there are others that I can eval, I'm just interested in finding out what others are using and happy with. Thanks.

[Samba] librsync ??
All, Does anyone know anything about librsync, and where it is currently maintained on the web? It apparently is/was a samba project, but I'm not sure how it relates. The authors are listed as: Martin Pool [EMAIL PROTECTED] Andrew Tridgell [EMAIL PROTECTED] but I suspect someone else did the 0.9.5.1 update, because only 0.9.5 is available on the rproxy site (http://rproxy.sourceforge.net/download.html).

re[2]: [Samba] Backup software
Charles, I'm not a Samba expert, but I have been researching how best to back up Samba shares, especially as it relates to ACLs. To use ACLs with Samba, I believe it is best to have a Filesystem that supports ACLs. I only know of 2 that do: ext2/ext3 with the ACL patch and XFS. From what I understand, it is preferred to backup ext2/ext3 with the ACL patch with star. And it is preferred to backup XFS with xfsdump. If you don't use a filesystem that understands ACLs, then Samba maintains all the ACL info in a common file. You as the administrator are responsible for creating a backup mechanism that captures the Samba ACL info. That is easy if you are happy with doing a full share backup/restore, but if you want to be able to do individual file saves/restores, then you have to have some way of saving/restoring the ACL data on a file by file basis. === Backing up a Samba client This was the original need, but from what I understand smbmount does not handle ACLs, so there is no way to get the remote ACL info. and back it up. Greg I think XFSdump does on XFS filesystems...but I could be wrong. Charles -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Greg Freemyer Sent: Thursday, April 11, 2002 2:20 PM To: ACEAlex; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: re: [Samba] Backup software To the best of my knowledge their is not an OpenSource backup method that will backup the ACLs on the client. If your clients are using FAT, then you have no problems. If they are running NTFS on the clients, then you have ACLs to worry about, and you will have to decide if you need the ACLs backed up up or not. i.e. ACLs are the NTFS security info. Note: Samba ACLs can be backed up if you ensure you are running the right backup software like star or xfsdump. Hello Im planing on doing an open source software that handels backups. The purpose is to backup clients in an nt domain. I know that there are comercial software out there but i want to do it the right way open source :). Oki here is my plan 1. On every client i have a user that has read access to the whole system drive. That user and password is stored on the backup server aswell. 2. The user will use a web interface and from that request a backup of the system. 3. The backup server will store the request and later that night it will use samba to mount the client drive and make the backup. Im planing on using gzip or bzip on every file in the system so that you easily could recover files. The files will be stored on cheap ide harddrives. You will also be able to filter out files that you dont need to backup word.exe, swapfile etc Now i wounder if there are any other people out there that already has done it. Is it a great ide or not? /Alexander -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba Greg Freemyer Internet Engineer Deployment and Integration Specialist The Norcross Group www.NorcrossGroup.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba Greg Freemyer Internet Engineer Deployment and Integration Specialist The Norcross Group www.NorcrossGroup.com -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
