Xsan 2.1.1, SMB reshare and dropboxes.

Hi all,

I've found a intensely frustrating problem. I use drop boxes for my students to turn in assignments. When the dropbox is placed on an Xsan volume, they work perfectly from MacOS via SMB or AFP. However, they fail completely from WinXP SP3 box. It fails with "Cannot copy File: Access is denied."

Anyone out there able to replicate this? Anyone out there know a work around? I've set up dropboxes on DAS and have no issues with the Windows clients.

Thanks.Peet

Try the following setting in /etc/smb.conf
stream support = no

Hi ...

Xsan volume are case sensitive ... you must use this settings in smb.conf:

case sensitive = yes

Be careful where you add that parameter. I haven't tested it but I think if
you put it in the upper global section of /etc/smb.conf it might get overwritten when you make changes to smb in the serveradmin GUI.

Probably better to put it after the
"; Site Specific parameters can be added below this comment.
; END required configuration." at the end of the /etc/smb.conf file as a separate
[global] directive or as a per [sharepoint_name] directive.
