Re: Installing Samba : FreeBSD Vs Linux ?
hello list, a little story about samba and FreeBSD. I had to make a file server for a company that uses a program for accounting. that software works with lots of files to do the job. the software admin told me that the permissions should be very open on the directories and files so i made them 0777. the software worked like a charm for about 2 months but after that at some point the client couldn't access the files on the samba server. The files were there with the correct permissions but the software refused to access them with an error that they don't exist. I've tried to debug samba but couldn't find a clue, i have updated FreeBSD because i thought that the problem is with seekdir because the software was usign lot of files and directories. That didn't solve the problem either. I have searched the web for a guidance but couldn't find any. The interesting part comes when the company decided to change the OS to openSUSE. That did the trick. So first thing that comes in mind is that FreeBSD + samba + that accounting software just don't work together. I didn't had the chance to debug it as i should because they needed a fix ASAP. I have always used FreeBSD for web/file/VoIP server and never had a problem. I even have a FBSD box that server as a file server and there are lots of files and 10 depth directories and it works like a charm.

Our accounting packages also dump their files, databases and settings onto network drives. This is what we tend to do: 1.- Create a dedicated network drive for every software package with its own letter. Let's say package XYZ gets letter Y:. All users connecting to Samba must load network drive for XYZ as Y:. Otherwise some client instances may complain that the database was installed on Y: but there's nothing because it is actually somewhere else. 2.- Create user xyz and group xyz. Then map the XYZ network drive as xyz:xyz. By this, we avoid permission problems. 3.- Whenever we call tech support, we tell them that our network drives are located on a Windows 2003 machine. This saves us unnecessary headaches and warranty issues. We've been doing this for years and it works like a charm.

Linux-based systems and FreeBSD systems should support Samba roughly
identically well. I seem to recall seeing some benchmarks for FreeBSD
network server operations under heavy load just crushing comparative
Linux-based servers, but I don't recall where.
Anyway, if you can find benchmarks to that effect, or at least benchmarks
that don't show Linux substantially beating FreeBSD, you should be
covered. Add in some stuff about how FreeBSD is better (for your
purposes, at least) in general, regardless of the specific Samba stuff,
and you should have a win.
FreeBSD support for Samba is, in my limited experience (haven't used
Samba much in the last four years), excellent. So is Samba support on,
for instance, Debian. I believe you'll have to look outside of Samba
support for reasons to pick one over the other.
