ok. So I've got this Macintosh on my desktop. Samba is set up on the Mac, with these settings:
Code:
[g4doc]
path = /path/to/sharedfolder/
public = yes
writable = yes
browseable = yes
follow symlinks = yes
Then there is my Gentoo Linux box, which has this in /etc/fstab :
Code:
//10.0.0.10/g4doc /home/xspirlet/g4 smbfs credentials=/home/xspirlet/.smbcredentials,uid=xspirlet,gid=users 0 0
Then I try to mount the g4doc in the correct directory using a simple mount /home/xspirlet/g4. This takes forever. I mean forever :
Code:
# time mount /home/xspirlet/g4
real 3m15.733s
user 0m0.160s
sys 0m0.000s
Samba is 3.0.2a-r2 on the Linux box and 3.0.2 on the Mac. This makes me a little crazy because I often needs that dir mounted. I remember a time when it was quicker, but I don't know what has changed since...
Would this have something to do with master / local / domain browser settings (and dispute) ? smbd is not running on the Linux box. Maybe it should, with master browser set to yes and a high os level ?
Then again, I am not a Samba-fanatic and would gladly use another kind of file sharing, provided it allows me to *mount* shares. This is possible with smbfs, but I think not with NFS and I think AFS (Apple) will not be recognized on Linux, right?
Any idea, somebody ?
Thanks in adance
