re[2]: [SLE] Samba and OS-X

I'm trying to use Samba to serve a filesystem to some OS-X machines.
The basic connection works, but a lot of the files I'm trying to migrate have a "*" in the filename.
Linux obviously supports that if you handle it correctly.
Is there someway in Samba to make it work?
Thanks Greg
Don't know, will try it out......
Maybe a odd question but why not use NFS ??????
That may be the way to go, but I'm not sure I trust NFS on SuSE 8.2.
From my testing NFS under SuSE 8.2 is very slow. (I have not tried any tuning, just default exports and mounts.)
I'm using XFS as my underlying FS. i.e. Using iometer, against SuSE 8.2, I find Samba writes are about 3x faster than NFS v3 writes. Also, on my first use of NFS under 8.2, I copied a multi-gigabyte file to it. The whole FS locked up. I had to boot single-user and run xfs_repair. :-( I guess I'm gun shy at this point.

I generally just use netatalk with incredible speed results on 7.3 pro. Haven't scraped up the money for 8.x yet, but it should work just as well. I would like to follow this thread if someone has some simple pointers for nfs for osx. I haven't been patient enough to burn through the man and online references. For what it's worth, will

Did it like this: First: 1) Start the "NetInfo Manager" from "/Applications/Utillities". 2) Use "Check Identitie" from menu item "Security". 3) Click on the dir "machines". 4) Add a new directory from menu item "Directory". 5) Change the value of "name" propertie from "new_dir" into "name_of_nfs_server". 6) Add a new propertie from menu item "Directory". 7) Change "new_propertie" into "ip_address". And change "new_value" into "ip_adress_of_nfs_server". 6) Add a new propertie from menu item "Directory". 7) Change "new_propertie" into "serves". And change "new_value" into "../name_of_nfs_server". Don't know if the above step are needed, and don't know the function of the "serves" propertie. Then: 1) Start the "NetInfo Manager" from "/Applications/Utillities". 2) Use "Check Identitie" from menu item "Security". 3) Click on the Dir "mounts". 4) Add a new directory from menu item "Directory". 5) Change the value of "name" propertie from "new_dir" into "server:/dir/to/import". 6) Add a new propertie from menu item "Directory". 7) Change "new_propertie" into "dir". And change "new_value" into "/dir/to/mount/nfs-share". 8) Add a new propertie from menu item "Directory". 9) Change "new_propertie" into "vfstype". And change "new_value" into "nfs". 8) Add a new propertie from menu item "Directory". 9) Change "new_propertie" into "opts". 10) Select "opts" and use "Add New Value" from menu item "Directory". And change "new_value" into "-s". 11) Select "opts" and use "Add New Value" from menu item "Directory". And change "new_value" into "-P". 12) Select "opts" and use "Add New Value" from menu item "Directory". And change "new_value" into "-b". 13) Select "opts" and use "Add New Value" from menu item "Directory". And change "new_value" into "net". 14) Select "opts" and use "Add New Value" from menu item "Directory". And change "new_value" into "rw". 15) Restart your Mac and it should work. Or you could download "NFSManager". This only works with the user "root". This worked for me under MacOS 10.2.6. Hope this helpes.......... Haven't looked at netatalk yet. So any info how to set it up is welkom. Stefan.

Hello Stefan, I am running OSX 10.2.6 and SUSE 8.2 on my nfs server. So far I haven't been able to get the iMac to see or connect to my nfs server. Here is what I have in Netinfo Manager after following your advice: machines: (sub directory) 1242 orion Property Value(s) name orion serves ../orion ip_address 192.168.0.2 mounts: (sub directory) 1243 share:/home/adriel Property Value(s) vfstype nfs name share:/home/adriel dir /home/adriel/nfs-share opts (rw,net,-b,-P,-s) When I attemp to "connect to server" an error message: An error has occured(error = -5000). Anyone know what error -5000 is? Anyone know what to do about it? Thanks, Jerome

Is 'what' really in the info-manager window? I took a look at www.bulterman.org and ran NFS Manager. In the Netinfo domain "/" window under the NFS Connection tab my linux server is displayed correctly except, in the options list 'rw' is not listed. The 'Activate Connections' button says the connection is activated successfully however, the ' Connections Status' window show an empty list of NFS servers connected to my iMac. The 'List Remote NFS Shares' window lists the shares correctly. In machines/broadcasthost the property 'ip_address has a value of '255.255.255.255. Shouldn't this value be my routers address or my local network address instead? I still get the -5000 error, which means: 'AFP Access denied'. So, how do I undeny access to AFP? Thanks, Jerome

I don't understand the AFP error message but I can see my linux nfs shares on my iMac! Instead of using the 'Connect to Server' command in the 'Go' menu to connect (and therefore get the error '-5000') I used: /computer(icons)/Servers/orion/home/adriel And there it was! Thank you for your help, Jerome
