Sharing an xfs filesystem to a windows client [solved]

Hey there,
So I have been looking around for quite some time. I was wondering if anyone knew about any software that would allo my windows machines to read a XFS partition over my network. I do not want to use virtual software. I also saw some tools such as lstools and ext2fsd, but they did not look promising. The reason I am using XFS is because I have a large amount of music and photos.

So I solved this is was an error in my smb.conf  here is my smb.conf setup for anyone else having problems

  • Map linux shared folders to Z drive in Windows Client. Unable to login through Samba Server

    Hi,
    I am trying to map my linux machine to a network drive Z in Windows 7 . I added user guid in smbusers and created a password for this user through smbpasswd . Started Samba server on linuc, but when trying to create a network drive, it is asking for the login. I used credentials as GUID/<CREATEDPWD> . Not able to login with these credentials. Am I missing something. My Domain is ORADEV. I attached related files smb.conf,lmhosts,smbusers  files. Please let me know if i am not configuring samba server correctly.
    Here is the sm.conf file Details :

    Hi,
    To clarify a couple of things:
    1- "reverse-route" does not have anything to do with this issue, the problem relies on the Windows 7 machine.
    2- Do you connect with an Admin account (Windows admin)?
    3- Do you run the VPN client as an administrator?
    4- Have you tried to disable any AV or software protection on the machine (just for testing).?
    Let me know.
    Portu.

  • Quicktime on Windows clients can't open files in folders with long names!!

    Hi,
    we've got a really strange problem. We have an Intel Xserve with Leopard Server 10.5.4 which is sharing files over SMB. Everything works fine, except Quicktime on Windows clients (XP Pro and Vista). It looks like the length of the folder names is the problem. If a single folder in the path to the mov has a name that's longer than 8 characters, Quicktime fails with "Error -43: A file could not be found."
    x:\test1234\test.mov works
    x:\test12345\test.mov doesn't work
    Same for UNC paths. VLC on Win and Quicktime on OS X work without problems over SMB. Also the problem doesn't exist on other Samba based fileservers.
    Any ideas? Perhaps some smb.conf tweaks to fix this?
    Best regards

  • Problem Assigning file permissions on windows client

    I have created some Users and Groups in the OD. I have several Windows PC's including Server 2003 installations. SMB is running and configured as "primary domain controller".
    When I browse the OD from the Windows client to assign file permissions I ONLY see the USERS, not the Groups. I have Groups and Users checked in the "Locations" sub dialog.
    ie. Right Click on folder to share, choose Sharing and Security, choose Permissions, choose Add, choose Advanced, choose Find. Same thing in the Security Tab. Same thing in the User manager.
    This also affects the logons. I don't want to have to add each user every time I want to share or give logon permissions on the Windows client. Adding a Group is much easier.
    Any suggestions?

    N'<national symbols>', being part of an SQL statement, will be converted to the database character set (WE8ISO8859P1) before being parsed. Only if the client and the database are both 10.2 or higher, the client can encode the literal appropriately so that it survives this conversion.
    In earlier versions, you can do the encoding yourself. Instead of the N'<national symbols>' literal use the UNISTR function: UNISTR('\xxxx\yyyy\zzzz'), where U+xxxx, U+yyyy, U+zzzz are Unicode code points of your national characters.

  • 10.4.9 as Domain Controller fails daily for Windows clients

    I have a 10.4.9 Open Directory Master server which also serves as a PDC for Windows XP clients. Windows clients can log in and get roaming profiles with shared homes for Mac and Windows environments. This all works fine.
    But, for the last week, every morning, the Windows clients cannot find the domain. I can replace the /etc/smb.conf file with a saved good file, restart the Windows service and all works fine until the next morning, where it fails again. Simply restarting the Windows service does not help; it needs to be reconfigured with a new smb.conf file.
    Mac clients can authenticate and connect via smb. The Windows XP Pro clients are up to date with latest updates, so there could be a problem from that, but the updates don't match the date the problems started. The start of the problem coincided with removing an Open Directory Replica, which was no longer needed. It is probably unrelated, but it is the only change I can think of.
    There must be some overnight process which resets some setting. Anyone have an idea?
    Thanks for any help!
    Mostly Xserve servers   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   400 + node Open Directory domain Win & Mac All Mac servers
    Macs & PCs (too many!)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  
    Macs & PCs (too many!)   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Tom,
    We destroyed our domain and rejoined all our XP boxes. This did not fix the problem. There appears to be a bug in Apple samba-100.7 (10.4.9).
    As a quick fix we extracted the smbd binary and smbd.plist from a 10.4.8 combo update (Note: you could also grab the files from a working 10.4.8 install)...
    1. Download the 10.4.8 combo update from http://www.apple.com/support
    2. Mount the 10.4.8 update .dmg
    3. In Terminal navigate to the folder containing Archive.pax.gz, in our case this was...
    cd /Volumes/Mac\ OS\ X\ Server\ 10.4.8\ Combined\ Update/MacOSXSrvrCombo10.4.8PPC.mpkg/Contents/Installers/MacOSXSvrCmbBase10.4.8 PPC.pkg/Contents
    4. Copy Archive.pax.gz to a location on your HDD, like Desktop
    cp Archive.pax.gz ~/Desktop
    5. Unzip Archive.pax.gz
    cd ~/Desktop
    gunzip Archive.pax.gz
    6. Grab a copy of Pacifist and use it to open Archive.pax
    7. Using Pacifist, extract (drag and drop) the following files from the archive to your Desktop...
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
    /usr/sbin/smbd
    Note: We are going to replace smb in the next step, best backup the current copies of the above files before proceeding.
    8. Open Terminal again...
    Stop SMB...
    sudo serveradmin stop smb
    Replace samba with 10.4.8 version...
    sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd /usr/sbin/smbd
    sudo cp ~/Desktop/smbd.plist /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/smbd.plist
    9. Restart SMB and the process is complete...
    sudo serveradmin start smb
    Cheers,

  • Solaris 10 Printer share by Samba SWAT. Then install onto windows client

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with below.
    1) Installing printer on Solaris 10
    2) Sharing the printer via SWAT
    3) Install the printer on Solaris from Windows client.
    Where can I find the basic information for above 3 which I need to achieve?
    I have installed the printer locally onto Solaris 10, and was able to print, but I just can't share it to Windows.
    And because of that, I am not sure if I am doing the local printer installation in the right way or not..
    If anybody can lead me to a good website or good document for printer installation and sharing,
    please let me know.
    Regards,
    Tanuki

    Well, if you don't think the online Documentation helpful, then the better way is reading step-by-step instructions from a book. Get to local bookstore, i.e Barne&Nobles or Border or any big local bookstore, there should be pretty good book for Unix Administrator (Solaris version).
    If you have time and think you can memorize then, read on the spot; otherwise, buy the book for future reference.
    If that's not what you had in mind, then this link of free online book might help : http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/solaris8/chapter/ch04.html
    Normally, oreilly online bookstore offers free books to accredited universities, colleges, and organizations. However, if that option isn't for you, it might even offer free sample chapters that might just suit your needs.
    hoep it helps.

  • SSH to Mac using a Windows Client

    I was just wondering if anyone knew of an easy (GUI) client program for a Windows XP/Vista computer to SSH into a Mac for file sharing?
    Also is there a SSH client program for Windows that will broadcast the Bonjour services that are found on the host (kind of like AlmostVPN, but for a Windows client)?
    Thanks
    John

    OK Great. I'll give it a try. Do you know if Putty supports Bonjour over SSH?
    I am not sure however you could install bonjour for windows and try it out.

  • Windows client for ARD?

    I'm looking in to how to establish a remote desktop connection from Windows to Macs with the stipulation that we not use VNC so I'm wondering if a Windows client for ARD exists.
    If not, does anyone have a suggestion for doing RDC from Windows to Mac. I can already do it going from Mac to Windows using MS's client or the open source CoRD, but I'm really hitting dead-ends trying to figure out how to go the other way.

    To continue what Templeton Peck said, most any VNC client will work. I personally prefer UltraVNC, and I use that to control 5 different Windows machines from my Mac. While you don't get all the advanced options like sharing clipboards, waking/shutting down, collecting reports etc... You still get full access to the remote Windows machine as you do when you connect to a Mac in ARD.

  • Windows Client log to the Mac Os X Server ?

    Hello everybody
    I would like to create a network with Mac OS X Server. I have Windows PC's that would also be in the network.
    Does windows clients can connect to the Mac Server with a username and password ?
    Thank you.

    At the simplest, sure, Microsoft Windows clients can connect to OS X Server services with appropriate credentials.  Mail and file sharing, for instance. 
    Beyond password-based authentication, a more advanced configuration is probably not as simple nor as easy as you might want.   Windows clients really want to use Microsoft Active Directory here and Kerberos authentication probably won't get you where you want.   (This assuming that you can get the Windows clients to accept OS X Server Kerberos authentication.)  
    The usual approach for single sign-on in heterogeneous environments is the so-called Magic Triangle configuration with both Microsoft Active Directory running on a Windows Server and Open Directory running on OS X Server.   This involves the two domains communicating.  It might be easier to get OS X clients operating off Windows Server, particularly with the use of profiles in more recent versions.
    As an alternative to Windows Server, recent versions of the Samba server package include authentication services compatible with Active Directory, and you may be able to get your Windows clients to authenticate to that, and build that as part of a Magic Triangle configuration.  You'd need to download and configure the Samba server, and get the Samba AD support working.
    Related discussions and documentation here and here and maybe this thread.  There are other discussions.

  • Cisco Jabber for Windows Client SDK

    Is there an SDK for Cisco Jabber for Windows client? I could only find the Web SDK. Are there no other SDKs that would let me control features of the Jabber Windows Client?

    And in order to avoid TAPI limitation, they say they have started using Jabber which controls all phone functionalities through an Application User connected to the Call Manager.
    Assuming they are referring to the normal Jabber for Windows/Mac/iOS/Android applications then this is wrong. Jabber - the client, not the IM&P servers which are part of the CUCM cluster (if you're familiar with Lync consider CUCM+IM&P servers a Front End Pool) - do not use an Application User at all. When a user starts Jabber, assuming SAML SSO is off, they supply an email address. This is used to find the servers via DNS SRV records, or the Mobile and Remote Access Expressway (roughly analogous to a Lync Edge pool) to tunnel through the firewall. After the email address they are prompted for their End User username and password. This is then used to access several APIs on the server, namely the User Data Service to discover what the user has. This would include what the user has configured/available to them. After this is done the Jabber client does one of three things with respect to phone functionality:
    If the user has no phone devices provisioned for them - physical or software - it becomes an IM&P client only.
    If the user has a software phone phone provisioned, it registers as that using SIP. In this way Jabber is the actual phone. This is called a CSF device for Jabber Windows/OS X.
    If the user has a desk phone assigned to their End User account AND administrative policy is to default to desk phone control, it registers to CTI Manager on the CUCM server to control the user's physical phone.
    A user can toggle between option two and three, if appropriately provisioned, but cannot have both simultaneously. In other words, Jabber is either controlling a physical phone over CTI or is a phone itself using SIP. The difference is where the audio/video media is sent from/to.
    All of this happens using that human's End User credentials.
    Now, if you wanted to have a server control the user's phone - either a physical one or Jabber - you would use the TSP as an interface to CTI Manager on the CUCM server and receive real-time events (e.g. the user went off-hook, the phone is ringing with this caller ID, etc.) and issue commands to that phone (e.g. make a call to X). This is done using an Application User account because the server would need to do this for multiple users simultaneously. If you also use the Super Provider concept, the CUCM administrator doesn't have to take the extra step of associating every phone to your Application User manually. Instead, you can simply issue CTI subscriptions to see any/all device activity you want.
    This is all assuming you wanted to do the integration server-side to avoid having to update the Cisco TSP application on every user PC (which also limits your WPF application to machines capable of running the TSP) every time the CUCM administrator patches the servers. If you don't care about that, then you can do this all client-side on the user's PC, and have them supply their End User credentials.
    Of course, you could also reconsider the Jabber SDK and just embed the make/receive call functionality directly into your application instead.

  • Please fix: Common Open File Dialog Box to support Favorites (Follow-up: Better provisioning in the Windows client)

    One more thing:
    What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.
    Please obsolete or (re)develop components in Windows, so those components support any new workflows in Windows!
    On example of an application where you cannot use Favorites is Adobe Photoshop. It uses the Common Open File Dialog Box in Windows (which does not support Favorites).
    Comparing Finder (MacOS) with Windows Explorer - you "seem" to have the option of using favorites to pin folders.
    Well, if your application calls Windows to use the Common Open File Dialog Box - it's actually NOT POSSIBLE AT ALL to navigate to the user concepts (user folders) pinned to favorites.
    Again, the favorites namespace is completely unused (not provisioned) out-of-the-box. That's may be ok, however it's not fully implemented across Windows and just another example of stuff accumulating up to being unusable.
    What's missing is favorites is a way to use the favorites space in the Common Open File Dialog Box.

  • Using iChat Server with Windows clients in an integrated Active Directory/Open Directory environment

    A co-worker (Super Brent) and I were working on using iChat as an internal IM server after having used Openfire for a couple days. The reason for switching was basically that we had a Mac Mini Server that was available so we decided to take this on.
    First problem: Knowing whether or not Kerberos was needed for AD/OD integration. We spent a ton of time on this, not knowing a huge amount about AD and with our server administrator on courses, we just kept poking at it and removed Kerberos.
    For the AD/OD integration, we first bound the Mac Mini to our Active Directory server. We shut off LDAPv3 support as we only wanted to use the AD functionality. Additionally, we ensured that the search policy in Directory Utility only used Active Directory. Then we created an Open Directory master in the Open Directory service. We enabled a self-signed certificate and trusted it locally. After creating the iChat service, ensure that you use the self-signed SSL Certificate and set authentication to Standard. (no kerberos).
    Second problem: Once this was complete, we started to test clients out. We were unable to successfully login using our AD credentials using Spark IM and Pandium IM. After trying nearly 100 different variations of server configs, we decided to try a new client. I installed Miranda IM on my Windows XP machine and tried a few different setups. It turned out that the magic potion was to make sure that the "resource" field was set to "Home" and use SSL for encryption. This resource setting was the deal breaker for the other IM clients as many of them such as Spark and Pandium do not have this as a login option.
    We ended up using Pidgin IM as the Windows client of choice as it did have the resource variable and it's interface was the best suited for our environment and users.
    I hope this helps someone out there as we spent days looking all over the internet trying to figure this out.
    Cheers,
    Frenchy and Super Brent

    Hi,
    iChat Server is not something that I know a great deal about.
    I tend to point people to the OS  X Server Communities and to look out for posts by Tim Harris.
    Thanks for taking the time to post this.

  • ORA-12571 error while creating packages from Windows clients

    Hello,
    We are facing the ORA-12571 error while creating / replacing packages from Windows Clients connected to a 8.1.7.2.0 db on a Solaris server.
    However, there are
    1. no errors in connecting and creating transactions from a Sql session
    2. no errors in creating / replacing unwrapped/wrapped small (few lines) packages
    3. no errors in connecting from a Unix session (remote telnet sessions inclusive).
    This happens only when creating wrapped/unwrapped packages, source code of which is greater than 500 kb approx.
    Can somebody help me resolve this issue. Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
    Regards.
    Lakshmanan, K

    Update: I had unintentionally left my custom tablespace in READONLY state after an earlier experiment with transportable tablespaces. After putting the tablespace back into READ WRITE mode and creating a new template, I was successfully able to create a new db from the template.
    I'm still a little curious why this procedure wouldn't work properly with a READONLY tablespace, however.

  • [SOLVED] system no longer knows about xfs filesystems?!?

    last Monday (11/14/2011) my system was able to mount an external drive with an xfs filesystem on it.
    as of today (11/21/2011) it no longer recognizes xfs:
    % mount <my_dir>
    mount: unknown filesystem type 'xfs'
    does anyone else have this problem?  i searched and didn't see anything in the forums.

    graysky:  thanks for responding. 
    yes, xfsprogs is installed (xfsprogs 3.1.7-1 to be exact).
    dmesg only says that it sees the disk just fine:

    but I cannot mount it.  when i try i get the error that xfs is an unknown file system type.
    and no, there is nothing in errors.log or anyplace else i've checked.
    it seems weird to me too...
