RE: [Samba] Quickbooks revisited
Quickbooks is SO slow, we are having all of the same issues listed here. Our QB file is about 250 MB and is slow as a turtle. It is nearly unusable in a networked environment. If i put the file on the Local Machine, it is fine. It is only Slightly faster on a win2k server, i believe. Im not convinced its samba by any stretch. But can anyone reccomend a better product, cuz this product (QB) is terrible. -Original Message- From: Justin Kreger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, June 19, 2003 12:04 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Samba] Quickbooks revisited -- 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

RE: [Samba] Quickbooks revisited
We've had pretty good luck with Peachtree Complete with SAMBA (2.3.6). (It doesn't like opportunistic locks though.) We've had very good success even with large databases. Our 130MB database just breezes with speed with 5 Peachtree users.

RE: [Samba] Quickbooks revisited
I don't know what your setup is but here is mine. I run samba 2.2.7. I don't use oplocks on my share that QuickBooks is on. You most definately don't want to. Other than that I have a pretty basic setup. I did not notice any difference between the file on my linux server (primary file server) or on a Win2000 Server share. What version of QuickBooks are you using? How many users on your network? How many users accessing QuickBooks? Does your linux server run a lot of other server daemons? -Original Message- From: Justin Kreger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 10:28 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Quickbooks revisited What about file locking?
