Taking a close look at the error dumps when windows diagnostics failed, I noticed it was looking at port 445 and ONLY port 445... So I commented out this line, allowing samba to use the ports it thinks appropriate:
...and the boss' computer was miraculously able to connect again.
For the moment, anyway. It's teased me before by working briefly then dying, and there was no reason for it to suddenly start refusing to use port 139 after using it for months. Let's hope this sticks.

If I set my security to user, my secured shares work just fine and prompt accordingly, but when... (0 Replies)

So, I finally got around to getting Dreamscene to work with my Win 7 (64bit) Laptop.
The only thing I find quite annoying, is that I have to "right click" a video file (.wmv/.mpg) and select "Set a Background" each time I want to change the video file.
Is there a way to 'directly forward' a... (1 Reply)

vfs_syncops
VFS_SYNCOPS(8) System Administration tools VFS_SYNCOPS(8)NAME
vfs_syncops - Ensure meta data operations are performed synchronously.
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = syncops
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
Some filesystems (even some journaled filesystems) require that a fsync() be performed on many meta data operations to ensure that the
operation is guaranteed to remain in the filesystem after a power failure. This is particularly important for some cluster filesystems
which are participating in a node failover system with clustered Samba. On those filesystems the vfs_syncops VFS module provides a way to
perform those operations safely.
This module is stackable.
CONFIGURATION
Most of the performance loss with the vfs_syncops VFS module is in fsync on close(). You can disable that with syncops:onclose = no that
can be set either globally or per share.
On certain filesystems that only require the last data written to be fsync()'ed, you can disable the metadata synchronization of this
module with syncops:onmeta = no. This option can be set either globally or per share.
The vfs_syncops VFS module can also be disabled completely for a share with syncops:disable = true.
EXAMPLES
Add syncops functionality for [share]:
[share]
path = /data/share
vfs objects = syncops
syncops:onclose = no
VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.1.0 of the Samba suite.
AUTHOR
The original Samba software and related utilities were created by Andrew Tridgell. Samba is now developed by the Samba Team as an Open
Source project similar to the way the Linux kernel is developed.
