How to stop SMBFS from crashing

[Piru]

@LoadWB

The old protocol can be reenabled in local security policies, AFAIK.

I bet HammerD would love to know how exactly you can do that.

[HammerD]

@Piru

I already tried that and it didn't work.

[HammerD]

@LoadWB

If you change this it still doesn't work.

[HammerD]

@LoadWB

This is specifically what I have it set to and it doesn't work...I didn't try ALL the options yet.  Which one do you recommend?

[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

Getting back to the original topic briefly, increasing the stack to 200,000 allowed the archiving to get further, but it still hung about 5 megs in. I tried FTPMount as an alternative way of mounting a remote server as a volume, but LHA couldn't add to the archive even though it created it :-?

are you using Stackattack2?

C:SetPatch SKIPROMUPDATES "scsi.device" QUIET

C:StackAttack

etc, etc

C:StackAttack AUTO

C:LoadWB

EndCLI >NIL:

[motorollin]

Yes I am using StackAttack2. I have the line C:StackAttack just after Setpatch, but I don't have the "C:StackAttack AUTO" just before LoadWB. Is that important?

[Framiga]

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

[motorollin]

Ok, I'll add it, try again, and report back.

BTW should I remove the Stack command from my SMBFS script and allow StackAttack to do its job, or leave the Stack command there?

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 :-)

This probably ain't the same problem I had with smbfs, but here is that old thread. Problem I had was caused by different locale settings (date/time -type, language) between my Amiga and PC. So in my case raising stack was not the solution eventhough it was the obvious one (using stackattack2 should be enough).

[motorollin]

@Framiga
Does AExplorer allow you to mount a remote device as a volume? I need to do this so I can create the file there on the fly (not create it on a local volume and then copy it).

@quenthal
Thanks for the tip, though my Locale setting is already set to English. Also, I don't have any problems actually connecting to the SMB share.

mhh not on the Amiga.

The Amiga side act as a server.

[motorollin]

I see. I'm starting to think it would be much easier to get another hard drive, format it as FAT, connect it to the Amiga, create the backup, then connect it to my Mac and copy the archives off :roll:

Surely there's an easier way!
