Files loose ACLs on SMB.

I have noticed that all the files viewed via SMB dont have their custom attributes or metadata associated with them. i.e. they loose their ACLs.
when I right-click on any file on the SMB drive, and check the properties then I
get the message "Failed to load properties from server" on the iFS Attributes tab and the iFS Versioned tabs.
Please, let me know if you are aware of this and give me an ETA on when it will be fixed. This is really important for my Company because, without ACLs via SMB then file management for our users cannot be conducted.
Thanks..

Hi Joyce,
I have the oracle IFS utilities installed.
My issue doesn't have to do with using the iFS utilities. It is a general issue that I have opened a tar on and have been trying to make it a priority level 1 issue.
None of the files that I view via SMB have any ACLs. This may have to dao with the SMB protocol or how Microsoft Office files are opened on the SMB drive. For futher clarification on this issue please, check tar # 13252436.999.
I really think this is an issue that needs immediate attention, especiall for companies like mine who want to use this product for clients who will mostly access files via SMB.
Thanks..

"Your AutoCorrect file, MSO2057.acl, could not be saved. ..." when attaching a document

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Reader v10.
When I try to attach a document (txt, doc, or whatever), I get the message: "Your AutoCorrect file, MSO2057.acl, could not be saved. The file may be read only, or you may not have permission to modify the file."
Sometimes Acrobat freezes and sometimes I can continue to use it after I've attached the file. I've verified this error on a few pc's.
Winword.exe is *always launched and I have to kill the process via the Task Manager.
1.Why is acrobat trying to access MS proofing tools and how can I stop it from doing so?
Thanks

You obviously have Acrobat Pro and not Adobe Reader. You probably need to adjust you security settings in the attachments settings.
You also probably are not the person who set these or maybe the default doesn't allow those types of files. Either way there probably needs to be an adjustment made. You or the Admin who set up security in your deployment package will need to make the adjustment to the deployment package. Here is the reference they need to read:

Raw files loosing saturation & exposure upon import on nikon d4s & d7100 my d800 is fine

I am having trouble with lightroom 5.6 . my Nikon d4s & d7100 raw files loose saturation & exposure upon import my d800 is fine

Try changing the camera calibration profile to "camera standard" and setting that as the default (hold alt or option and click on the "set default ..." button. Also make sure you do not have dynamic lighting enabled in your camera. This underexposes the raw files and writes an instruction for Nikon software in the nef file that compensates. The result in non-Nikon software is that your files end up underexposed.

My Itunes library files looses their file location

My Itunes library files looses their file location only if I select them. If I close Itunes and then start again they are all there. It is only when I select one or any of my library files, that Itunes "looses" them and I have to manually "locate" them. Several sofeware "upgrades" back, ITunes worked fine. Apple is sending too many "patches" and is about to LOOSE ME....

Each time you restart iTunes it assumes that all the tracks are where it thinks they are. The exclamation marks only show up if iTunes attempts to do something with the files and cannot find them.
Possible causes are that you or some third party tool like WIndows Media Player have moved, renamed or deleted the files, or that the drive they live on has changed drive letters. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you might be able to reconnect iTunes to them using my FindTracks script. To start with test it out on a handful of tracks that show up as missing in action. If it can find & repair the links to those throw larger selections at it until everything is connected.

Weird issues with file share using both SMB and AFP?

I use my Xserve with 10.4 server primarily as a file server (with a huge RAID array attached via Ultra320 SCSI). I've served files from this server over SMB ("Windows" sharing) to both PCs and Macs for a few years now with no big issues. The files are being shared in a collaborative environment with extensive user accounts and ACLs set up.
I would like to turn on AFP for these same file shares, so those accessing with a Mac can have the added benefits of AFP over SMB. However, I've heard some rumors of some complicated issues developing from the use of both AFP and SMB together on the same folders, in a mixed environment.
The rumors I've heard are things that would happen rarely but enough for it to be significant. For example, a file created over SMB and then edited over AFP would have some problems being re-edited over SMB again, due to some complicated feature that the rumor is unable to explain (something with a resource fork or file locking?). Maybe something weird that just involves the Adobe Creative Suite?
Anyway, I figured I'd throw this out there. Anyone who serves files over both protocols to a varied set of computers and applications having weird issues? Or is everything working for you? Thanks in advance.

SIMPLE : Move FIle from Mac to SMB system

I would like to move 1 file to a SMB connection. The script works when moving the file from afp to afp. But when I run this script I get a message that the program can't deliver the file.
So I have always connection between the disks (Script that starts every day)
The path is OK but I guess it's something with privileges? Don't get more info about that from scripteditor.
tell application "Finder"
activate
set this_file to ("SERVER1:DATABASES:DATA1:test.txt")
move this_file to ("smb:192.168.000.000:X:DATABASES:DATA1:") with replacing
end tell
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance.
or ("Volumes:X:DATABASES:DATA1:")

You approaching this in the wrong way.
When you ask the Finder to move a file you specify the source file and the destination directory.
You're trying to provide a URL, and that's the mistake.
If your SMB volume is mounted on the desktop then its path will be /Volumes/SERVER_NAME, and you can just reference it by name, therefore you want something more like:
tell application "Finder"
set this_file to "SERVER1:DATABASES:DATA1:test.txt
move this_file to folder "SERVER_NAME:X:DATABASES:DATA1:"
end tell
As far as the Finder is concerned, the first element of a path is taken as the volume name.
You might want to add some error checking to ensure the volume is mounted before trying to move the file, too.

Can't copy files to NAS via smb

I'm trying to move my Logic files to a NAS in a RAID 1 configuration prior to installation of Logic 9. I'm connecting via Samba. However, I'm continually getting this error message after only a few files are copied:
"The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items."
Going to the first file that did not copy, I can see that I have read/write permission for it. I've repaired permissions, verified disk, etc. with no luck. After numerous failed attempts, I tried copying the files in question to the desktop and it worked fine. I used these NAS drives two weeks ago to make disk images of both my iMac and MacBook prior to loading Snow Leopard, plus I ran built-in utilities on them, so I'm fairly sure they're working correctly.
I searched the forums and didn't see anything exactly like this, so any help you can provide is appreciated.

I'm having the same problem when trying to copy files to an SMB share on a OpenFiler based NAS. I noticed however, that if the files are in a folder, they will copy to the smb share without a problem. I can then move them out of the folder in the SMB share, delete them, etc. I can also create an empty folder on the share. The only thing I can't seem to do is copy up a regular file. I get this same error message. I have read that it may be a bug in 10.6.3? But curious is other tyes of NAS devices have a similar behavior...

Copying tables from the pdf file & loosing all table format when pasted into a word document

I have tables in an Adobe Reader 9.2 file that need to be placed in a word document.
When I copy the table and paste it into the word document I loose all table formating and am left w/just text--and, not in the right places, I might add.
Help please!!
Thanks! Edie

The only thing that comes close is to use the Snapshot tool (from the Tools Menu) and copy the entire table and paste it, but it treats it as a graphic (picture) and you can no longer edit cells.

Force permissions for file sharing (acl)

Hi all
I'm trying to set up a server so that multiple users can share files over sftp and ssh.
To do this I did the following:
0. Mounted an ext4 partition with acl enabled
1. Created a folder with an appropriate group (say 'sharing')
2. Set the gid flag on it (chmod g+s)
3. Added all the users to the sharing group
4. Setup acl on the folder :
setfacl -dm u::rwX,g::rwX,o::- /path/to/folder
setfacl -dm m::rwX /path/to/folder
setfacl -dm g:sharing:rwX /path/to/folder
Now, whenever I create files or folders inside my shared folder they have the correct permissions (660) and the sharing group. However, when the files are *transferred* in via sftp, scp, unison etc the acl permissions do not take hold.
With unison I've tried setting perms=0 and dontchmod=true but this just gives all files -rw------- permissions.
SFTP mirrors the original permissions but is 'masked' by acl: i.e. a 666 file is set to 660 (as expected) while a 644 file becomes 640 (what i want is for it to be set to 660)
Is there any way to force permissions (with acl or some other tool) on files added or transferred into a folder regardless of the software doing the transferring? Ideally, I'd like it if this were something that happened completely on the server and did not depend on me configuring client tools.
Thanks!

Change the umask of the sftp process.
In your sshd_config there's a line that says:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server
Append -u 0002 (or whatever umask you want) to the end. Like this:
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server -u 0002
First thing I tried. Doesn't seem to work.
I should mention that I'm using sftp-chroot and I've used mount -bind to allow sftp users access the the (shared) data folder from with the chroot.
I don't know how this might affect the application of umask.. which i'm enabling by:
ForceCommand internal-sftp -u 0007
I was really hoping i'd be able to force this on the file-system level with acl or something similar

Every user can read any file while ACL mass change in progress

Hi!
We're having some strange things happening here. Maybe someone can help us what exactly is/was going on here.
1. We have to add an additional user in the NTFS ACL list for all file shares in our company (about XXXTB)
2. We're using Windows Explorer to accomplish that.
3. Every user can read in directories he/she has NO ACCESS RIGHTS to while the changes are being applied.
4. Files are also readable but at least still not writeable.
5. Affected folders and files change over time.
Has someone experienced the same issue? Does the Windows Explorer reset the ACL lists before changing them? Is there some weird caching going on?

I unfortunately can't send you a screenshot as this would be a violation of our company rules.
I can however ensure you that we never have any normal user or group besides the very guarded admin group that has read permissions in all folders. I'm also sure that the colleague was only adding the additional account for the indexing service and did that
by adding the permission via the properties tab in Windows Explorer. I restate that this is a very large data dir with about 6 Terrabytes of data the change was made to. The rest of our data was safe.
We guard our rights very closely as any unauthorized access that isn't fixed within minutes will cause a security incident that has to be documented by our department chief. As such was the case here.
As we've got no answer here yet, I can conclude that this is not a very common problem.

Can't open an InDesign file off of an SMB share in Yosemite.

Anyone else having this issue? When I go to open a file off of our file server it tells me the file is in use, or that I don't have the correct permissions. If I force SMB1 or CIFS, then I can open the file again. Seems to only happen with InDesign files.

Ok I've been testing some things and here are the results...
Word files don't seem to open, if I double click on the file in Finder nothing happens. If I try to open the same file directly from Word I get an error saying: Word cannot open this document. The document might be in use, the document might not be a valid Word document, or the file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \/).
Powerpoint files open without any problem but saving them after some modification is not possible (This file is read-only. Do you want to save changes under a different name?) It's like Powerpoint opens a read-only file version.
Creating a new document in Indesign and then saving it onto the server is also not possible, this is the error I get: Cannot save "Untitled-1" under a new name. The file "DBTmp38..." is damaged (Error Code: 0).
When composing a new e-mail in Outlook for Mac and adding an attachment directly from the server, there is also an error: Message could not be saved. If I copy the file to my desktop and then use it as attachment the e-mail can be sent out.
I also think this is more Apple related then Adobe related. It clearly has something to do with rights/permissions. The cfis:// fix doesn't work. Wether I use smb:// or cfis:// or even something else, I always get these errors...

Cannot copy files from mac via smb

I have a very strange effect since I went from 10.6 to 10.7. (I am on 10.7.2 now).
My Windows 7 PC can no longer copy files via SMB from the Mac to Windows.
I first thought this has to do with McAfee Endpoint Encryption, since the error message is
"Catastrophic Failure" (nothing else) in a small popup window which says McAfee Endpoint
Encryption in the title bar.
But then I discovered I can also not copy files to my Ubuntu system. The error message I get on
Ubuntu (11.10) is: "Operation not supported".
Both systems (the windows and the ubuntu system) however can copy via SMB from other systems
or among each other. It's actually from the Mac with which I have problems.
Nothing has changed for my Sharing Settings, but the only way currently to get files from my Mac
to the other systems is through an external harddisk, not over the network.
I see messages in other forums talking about that SMB in 10.7 is broken and Apple changed
to an unstable code base, but I can't find real helpful information on what the source of this
problem could be.
Any ideas?

The guy who controls the GPL licensing created a new scheme to prevent hardware manufacturers from limiting users to what the manufacturer wanted the users to be able to do (see Tivoisation). Samba, the code that Apple used for SMB took up that licensing scheme. So, Apple had to find another method in Lion.
Try turning on the Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) in your windows boxes and use that instead
I don't have much need for smb file sharing, so I don't have many details. I have seen hints that certain passwords don't work, but I don't know why.
Some useful sites for possibly finding a solution are MacWindows and MacInTouch.

Can't Save Director file to Network Share (SMB)

HI Owen,
Perhaps your Quicken preference files are corrupted, it's not bad, and an easy fix. Locate this file or one that is similar: com.quicken.plist It should be here; MacintoshHD/Users/Library/Preferences. Open the Preferences folder, locate that file, drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. It's ok to trash a pref file, your Mac will create a new one for you.
Also, here's the link to the Quicken forums; http://www.quickencommunity.com/

Those pesky ._FILE files ... for SMB

I found an old thread discussing the ._File (resource forks for file system that do not handle resource forks) when a Mac (10.3.x) connects to a Win/Linux system over SMB/CIFS. Apparently this was not an issue in 10.2.8, but has become a big issue in 10.3.x.
Old archived thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=137899
The only thing I can ad - when we upgraded to 10.3.x (around the time of 10.3.4) we were using Netware 5/6 for our file servers and had no issues that I remember (thought the Netware client for X was kind of buggy).
I have since moved to a different, but similar job - this time we have 10.3.x systems connecting (on occasion) to Windows file servers (Windows 2K, 2K3, etc..) and some users are running into serious issues with files deleting themselves (its not user error).
So my question, for those of you brave enough to try Tiger/10.4, Does this Apple OS fix that pesky ._File issue?
Thanks!

You can also check: out http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest/
It's a PrefPane that'll let you stop .DS store, resource forks and .trash creation on network and non hfs volumes.
As well as stopping the system from creating them it's got a cleaner to get rid of the ones you've already got.
I haven't tried it, but it sounds good.

File copy over AFP / SMB very slow on Mavericks

Hi guys.
I have a retina macbook pro (early 2013) and a mac mini (late 2012).
Both are running 10.9.1. The mac mini has OS X server installed and 2 USB 3.0 harddisks attached to it in RAID0.
I have a Thunderbolt display hooked up to my MBP. I have a 1gbit wired network between the two machines.
Now comes the problem: file copy from the USB 3.0 RAID array to the macbook pro over AFP or SMB is slow, I only get around 8 MB/sec.
First I thought it was a wiring issue (I created my own ethernet cables). However, I tried copying the file via SCP (i.e. SSH) and then I get 50 MB/sec. Still not close to the maximum for gigabit, but at least a lot higher than 8 MB/sec.
I tried googling if anybody else has the same issue, but couldn't really find definitive answers.
I have tried everything with both jumbo frames of and on. Both give the same results.
What's even stranger is if I connect my MBP over 5 GHz to my airport instead of wired, I get 20 MB/sec over AFP....
As far as I know the problem did not arise in the pre-Mavericks time.
Does anybody have any suggestions or solutions? 8 MB/sec is not really that nice

Have you checked your ethernet speed/duplex settings on the ethernet port and XP machine?
