As the implementation of Samba unix extensions in newer releases of samba interact with clients that also have unix extensions (like Mac OS leopard) in their samba client config, symlinks that used to resolve to directories are now treated as local aliases. To resolve the problem, I added unix extensions = no to the samba config of the server.

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008MediaWiki backup issues – resolved
Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008I was able to determine why the user was having problems backing up their wiki. The original set of tables that had been corrupted were still in the database. The new set had a prefix which put them after the old ones, so they could be used and accessed but not backed up unless they were specified individually. I’ve advised the user how to dump the tables and copy them to a new database.
