cifs.homedir and home folder setting for users
by Colin Eric Johnson 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

I'm working on moving our users to a netapp filer and I am trying to use the cifs.homedir option. My understanding is that this should allow the user to mount \\filer\username as a cifs share even though their home directory is really on something like \\filer\somedirectory\username I can make this work just fine if I do this with my own account, as a domain admin. If I try to do this with any other users account (say a test user) or as Administrator (and attempt to change my own account) I get an error from Active Directory that reads "The home folder could not be created because: The network name cannot be found." Any clues based on what I have said to point at what I am doing wrong? What else I might want to look at? -- Colin E. Johnson | colinj(a)ccs.neu.edu Harming only the humorless since 1967

Error 823 from SQL reading from filer
by Maglinger, Paul 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

I have another situation which I thought I corrected, but apparent it reared it's ugly head again. We're storing a SQL database on one of the volumes of our 740 filer. Every now and again, we'll get a Run-time error (Microsoft)(ODBC SQL Server Driver) Communication link failure. Going into the event viewer we find "Error 823, Severity 24, State:1 I/O error 240 (The session was cancelled.) detected during the read of BUF pointer blah blah blah, file= (the file located on the shared drive mapped to the filer). Any DB people out there run into this? Remember, you are unique... just like everyone else! Paul Maglinger, A+, CA, CET, MCSE Systems Administrator Shoe Carnival Inc.

Re: /etc/quota questions

1. You can only specify one domain name on the QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN directive. That domain name is prepended the the user names in the following entries in the /etc/quotas file. until another QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN directive is encountered. So: QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN domain1 joe user 10M - sue user 20M - QUOTA_TARGET_DOMAIN domain2 bob user 20M - ann user 30M - is equivalent to: domain1\joe user 10M - domain1\sue user 20M - domain2\bob user 20M - domain2\ann user 30M - 2. We do not support quotas on arbitrary directories, only on qtrees. Joan Alter At 10:50 AM 2/7/02 , you wrote: > > 1.

root access and multi-homed hosts
by neil lehrer 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

if you have hosts with multiple interfaces and access can come thru any of them, do you have to have an entry for each interface in the exports file? /vol/vol0/home -root=host1-e0:host2-e0 /vol/vol0/home -root=host1-e1:host2-e1 etc... host1 and host2 in dns has multiple entries. the root restriction matches the ip num of the host trying to mount to the ip num of the host shown in the exports file? otherwise do you show up as nobody, nogroup? thanks. --

[solution]: Sendmail .forward & filer home directories - "unsafe/ world-writea ble"!?
by Surlow, Jim 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

Thanks everyone for your comments. We discovered that the parent directory of the home directories were unsafe. So, it was a bit of sendmail's error message not being descriptive enough (implying that it was the user's home directory as opposed to any directory in the tree). We had mounted some space from another unix box and saw that sendmail behaved, so that why we thought it was filer related. When we migrated the users over to the filer, we must have started with bad perms on the parent directory. -----Original Message----- From: Surlow, Jim [mailto:surlow@lucent.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 5:19 PM To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Sendmail .forward & filer home directories - "unsafe/world-writea ble"!? Filer Admins, We have unix home directories on our filer. We just noticed today that sendmail reports that the .forward files are in a "World writable directory" and that the user directory is "unsafe directory path, marked unsafe". (These are sendmail errors - I'm at LogLevel=99 for sendmail). Then the mail is delivered locally to the box as opposed to forwarded. Now, my directories are not world writeable! So, I'm wondering what permissions aren't being read correctly. I can fix sendmail by changing the sendmail.cf to include "DontBlameSendmail=forwardfileinunsafedirpath", but am interested in the underlying issues here. We are running different versions of sendmail. The host that I've been testing on is running 8.11.6 Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks, Jim Surlow Billing & Customer Care Lucent Technologies

FW: Cannot delete folder in volume.
by Maglinger, Paul 07 Feb '02

My apologies, I should have provided more detail. This is not a set up as a share, however it was a home directory for a user. -----Original Message----- From: Kumar, Rahul [mailto:Rahul.Kumar@sdrc.com] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2002 11:17 To: Maglinger, Paul Subject: RE: Cannot delete folder in volume.

RE: Oracle and snapshots - how are you using it?
by Mitko Blazeski 07 Feb '02

07 Feb '02

You could always do a hot backup of the database if you dont want to take it offline. Check the whitepapers http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3130.html#4.2. Regards Mitko Blazeski -----Original Message----- From: Art Hebert [mailto:art@arzoon.com] Sent: den 7 februari 2002 03:17 To: 'toasters(a)mathworks.com' Subject: Oracle and snapshots - how are you using it? We haven't implemented snapshots because we have a single volume and it hasn't been manageable. We now have budget to buy some more disk shelves and want to move our database files to another volume and snap this. In looking at white papers on the Netapp site it leads me to beleive that I need to stop the db and snap and then restart. I would like to just run a snap every 15 minutes without stopping the db, so I can always fall back to a previous snapshot, can or are any of you doing this? thanks Art Hebert Email: art(a)arzoon.com <mailto:art@arzoon.com> Arzoon IT Dept.
