smb

I am trying to mount a smb network share onto the desktop via python, I don't want the share to be mounted in a folder, but were all the other mounted shares are (if I use 'connect to Server' in OSX I want my python mount to be mounted in the same location). Here is the current python code: directory = os.path.expanduser('~/Desktop') directory = os.path.normpath(directory) os.system("mount_smbfs //server/servershare " + directory) When I run the above, something strange happens. In finder, my home, which has the icon of a house and my username changes to the mount name, it screws it up a bit.

My Setup 3 nodes running ceph + cephfs 2 of these nodes running CTDB & Samba 1 client (not one of the 3 servers) It is a Lab setup, so only one nic per server=node, one subnet as well as all Ceph components plus Samba on the same servers. I'm aware, that this is not the way to go. The problem I want to host a clustered Samba file share on top of Ceph with ctdb. I followed the CTDB documentation ( https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/CTDB_and_Clustered_Samba#Configuring_Clusters_with_CTDB ) and parts of this: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_CTDB_GPFS_Cluster_HowTo . The cluster is running

Most of the places online explain how to connect and read data hosted by a smb server. Wikipedia explains more about smb at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block So what I am trying to do is to be able to open a file (located on the internet) from windows eplorer as: I need to add this functionality to a program that I am creating. If it is to complicated to create such server I guess I will not do it but I want to try my best. I found this link which might help me do what I am looking for at: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/309936/Csharp-NET-Network-File-System-NFS-Server But

I have a similar question like the one asked here but I need it to work on OSX. How to copy files to network path or drive using Python So i want to save a file on a SMB network share. Can this be done? Thanks! Yes, it can be done. First, mount your SMB network share to the local filesystem by calling a command like this from Python: mount -t smbfs //user@server/sharename share (You can do it using the subprocess module). share is the name of the directory where the SMB network share will be mounted to, and I guess it has to be writable by the user. After that, you can copy the file using

I'm reading a file and I either read a row of data (1600 sequential reads of 17 bytes) or a column of data (1600 reads of 17 bytes separated by 1600*17=27,200 bytes). The file is either on a local drive or a remote drive. I do the reads 10 times so I expect in each case to read in 272,000 bytes of data. On the local drive, I see what I expect. On the remote drive when reading sequentially I also see what I expect but when reading a column, I see a ton of extra reads being done. They are 32,768 bytes long and don't seem to be used but they make the amount of data being read jump from 272,000
