How to stop SMBFS from crashing

[Framiga]

personally i use FTP (the faster) or AmigaExplorer between AmigaOS4/MOS for PowerUP and winxp home.

ATC on Amiga and XLight FTP server on pc

[Framiga]

i'm not a Samba expert but if you can see the shares you have already passed the authentication step ... or am i wrong?

The page i posted you on MZ says:

LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated

here

[Framiga]

are you using Stackattack2?

C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET

C:StackAttack

etc, etc

C:StackAttack AUTO

C:LoadWB

EndCLI >NIL:

[Framiga]

it seems yes ... at least, i have it there since the first installation

[Framiga]

moto, the only time i tryed Samba/SMBFS (for 2 days before giving up... slow ... bugged as hell,  was under MOS for PowerUP)

Since then i use AExplorer and/or FTP

sorry but i have no idea :-)

[Framiga]

mhh not on the Amiga.

The Amiga side act as a server.

i know a lot of users are using SMBFS, so don't coun't that much on my bad experience.

There are some different archives around also IIRC.

Let me check.

nada ... SMBFS 1.66 is the only one for 68k i have.

Others are for MOS

[Framiga]

ops ... just found onto my disk, SMBFS 1.40 and 1.63

If you want to give a try, contact me privately (my email is in my profile)

[Framiga]

i think that what your trying to do, is a little bit demanding for SMBFS (i'm only guessing here)

A thing is read or write through SMBFS, another thing is read&archive on the fly.

Sorry but i'm out of ideas! Good luck!

tried today SMBFS (1.66 OS4 native) under AmigaOS4.

It works as aspected ... even tryed to archive a dir (5.5 MB) with target the mounted pc share.

How big is the file that crashes the lha thing?

Going to try under AmigaOS3.9

first here my AmiTCP settings

PRIORITY = 5

MBUF_CONF Initial =     2
MBUF_CONF Chunk =       64
MBUF_CONF ClChunk =     4
MBUF_CONF MaxMem =      2048
MBUF_CONF ClusterSize = 2048

;LOG Count =     4
;LOG Len =     128
;LOG Filter =    7
LOG FilterCons = 7
LOG FilterFile = 7

DebugSana = no
DebugIP =   no
Gateway =   no
IPSendRedirects = no
;UseNameServer = SECOND
;UseLoopBack = YES

TCP_SendSpace = 32768
TCP_RecvSpace = 32768

ConsoleName = "nil:"
LogFileName = "T:AmiTCP.log"

in AmiTCP:db/AmiTCP.config

SMBFS 1.66 (Aminet version)

tell me if your using Miami instead

and every time you change something in AmiTCP (or Miami) you have to restart the stack (not simply go offline/online)

[Framiga]

Genesis is the front-end of AmiTCP, so go to Genesis Preference and change that values from there

Genesis Prefs >Options> advanced

[Framiga]

if they are at default, they are much different! ;-)

you should have as default 8192 for both send receive buffers ... rise to 32768 both

clusters and Max mem as well ... that value are too small for modern/ish connections

These settings are different accordingly on what NIS card/driver/connection speed you have.

Thats seems ok for WAN and a 10 Mb NIC card, even if a bit high for LANs

Hence you have to experiment a bit
