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.
