Samba for MPE/iX Services
New Functionalities
How to use mapdiffs:
When you install this new version of Samba for
MPE/iX, one must check the MPE/iX side file and
directory names to see whether some of them have to be
adjusted to the changed mapping methods.
The mapdiffs utility (under /SAMBA/PUB/lib) is provided to check a
given list of file or directory names for the name mapping differences
between the Samba for MPE/iX version 1.9.16p9 and the new Samba
for MPE/iX 2.0.7. The renaming has to be done by hand.
The mapdiffs utility displays mapping test results, but the renaming
has to be done by hand.
Usage: find <fileset> | mapdiffs <option>
where option:
7cPC shows differences between version 1.9.16p9 and PC side
7jPC shows differences between version 2.0.7 and PC side
7c7j shows differences between version 1.9.16p9 and 2.0.7
7j7c shows differences between version 2.0.7 and 1.9.16p9
7c refers to Samba for MPE/i/X 1.9.16p9.
The resulting output can be used to judge filename conversion need.
Example:
Shell/iX> find /SAMBA/SHR/public | mapdiffs
7c: /SAMBA/SHR/public/New_20_Folder/my_24_file.java
7j: /SAMBA/SHR/public/New_20_Folder/my$file.java
7c refers to Samba for MPE/i/X 1.9.16p9
7j refers to Samba for MPE/i/X 2.0.7 version
NOTE
The file should be renamed before starting the new Samba for
MPE/iX 2.0.7.
Change in the default security mode:
In previous versions of Samba for MPE/iX, the default
security mode was “security = share”. In this
version of Samba, for MPE/iX 2.0.7, the default security
has been altered to make “security = user” as the
default. The user needs to note that the config file needs
to be adjusted to avoid unexpected change in behavior.
Statfs:
A wrapper has been implemented to provide non-zero
size of disk and free space.
NOTE
Samba for MPE/iX 2.0.7 has been tested with Windows 2000.
