Hi all, I have an old file server, running samba 3.x and I was planning to replace it with a newer unit running latest hipster.
I've installed samba with pkg install samba, and it installed samba version of 4.21.1, my /etc/samba/smb.conf file contains just a test share [global] server role = standalone server workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = SAMBA4 security = user log level = 3 max log size = 10000 passdb backend = smbpasswd [smb4test] comment = Test SMB 4 path = /nas/testsmb/sys read only = No guest ok = No force user = frecover force group = frecover create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 so, nothing fancy, no AD server, nothing, just a shared unit accessible from user "frecover" with primary group "frecover". Here start my problems, first, the share is not visible from explorer on a windows 10/11 PC. It seems that it is a problem with samba4 that does not support netbios anymore and can be overcome with a python utility named wsdd. I did not try wsdd because this is not the biggest problem, though, the real problem is that I can copy and paste a file on the share from explorer, but if I open the file with notepad and try to save it I get an error that I don't have the authorization to save it, which makes no sense given I was able to copy it a second before. On the samba log I get this error every time I try to save the file [2025/03/13 09:42:30.130859, 0] ../../source3/smbd/fd_handle.c:115(fsp_get_io_fd) fsp_get_io_fd: fsp [test.txt] is a path referencing fsp Googling for this message gives no clue, apart from a problem on Linux/btrfs, which has been solved since samba 4.16.x and even trying the workaround that at that time was suggested for btrfs does not make any difference. So my question is: is there anyone here using samba4 on a current hipster server as a file server and if so, is there some smb.conf's magic that has to be performed to make it work? Thanks. Maurilio. PS. I have no experience with kernel SMB service, so I'd prefer to stick to samba4, if possibile, given that I have SMB1 units that should be able to access exported shares and I'm not sure SMB kernel service still supports SMB1. _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
