Testcase to show the bug in smbclient with tar,ls,mget
I'm posting this message in charge of Denis MARS (France), because he is not a subscriber of teh list and I worked with him about the same problem. Domenico Viggiani ---------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I worked on this problem since three weeks and now i really give up. Clearly i can't go further without your help. I hesitate to send you this bug report as i am aware of the numerous mails you have. I (try to) follow your recommended procedures(faq,mailing list,...) but now i am in the black hole. 1/ The story begins with this use of smbclient: sgi 18% /usr/samba/bin/smbclient \\\\kiowa\\C$ -U Administrateur added interface ip=10.44.0.40 bcast=10.44.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[IRCN] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0] smb: \> cd myinst smb: \myinst\> archive 0 smb: \myinst\> tarmode quiet tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, quiet smb: \myinst\> tar c inst1.tar tar: dumped 632 files and directories Total bytes written: 182655488 smb: \myinst\> archive 0 smb: \myinst\> tarmode quiet tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, quiet smb: \myinst\> tar c inst2.tar tar: dumped 632 files and directories Total bytes written: 182858240 smb: \myinst\> archive 0 smb: \myinst\> tarmode quiet tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, quiet smb: \myinst\> tar c inst3.tar tar: dumped 632 files and directories Total bytes written: 182655488 smb: \myinst\> quit sgi 19% /usr/samba/bin/smbclient \\\\kiowa\\C$ -U Administrateur added interface ip=10.44.0.40 bcast=10.44.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[IRCN] OS=[Windows NT 4.0] Server=[NT LAN Manager 4.0] smb: \> cd myinst smb: \myinst\> archive 0 smb: \myinst\> tarmode quiet tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, quiet smb: \myinst\> tar c inst4.tar tar: dumped 633 files and directories Total bytes written: 182860800 smb: \myinst\> archive 0 smb: \myinst\> tarmode quiet tarmode is now full, system, hidden, noreset, quiet smb: \myinst\> tar c inst5.tar tar: dumped 632 files and directories Total bytes written: 182655488 smb: \myinst\> quit sgi 20% ls -al total 1787744 drwxr-xr-x 2 si staff 99 Apr 5 14:33 . drwxr-xr-x 39 si staff 4096 Apr 4 14:29 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 si staff 182978560 Apr 5 14:19 inst1.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 si staff 183181312 Apr 5 14:27 inst2.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 si staff 182978560 Apr 5 14:30 inst3.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 si staff 183184384 Apr 5 14:32 inst4.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 si staff 182978560 Apr 5 14:49 inst5.tar Of course the good tar is inst4.tar 2/ After i look in mailing list for "bug smbclient" on deja.com. I see Domenico Viggiani message describing something equivalent with mget usage: smbclient \\machine\share prompt recurse mget * 3/ Finally, I try the following: script lsfile1 smbclient //machine/share password recurse ls quit ^D script lsfile2 smbclient //machine/share password recurse ls quit ^D diff lstfile1 lstfile2 I have different files 4/ All these test have been made under the following environnement: Samba 2.0.6 binary distribution for SGI IRIX 6.x installed on Origin 200 IRIX 6.5.4m 2xR12000 1G memory The share is on an NT 4 Workstation Service pack 6 French Intel 350Mz 64K memory N.B. I made NO modifications in the Registry... 5/ I try to debug and i was lucky because i have a good tar and a bad one with debug level 5 but i never suceed to obtain a bad tar with level 10. 6/ I think it is a problem of timing when smbclient parses the directory entries but i have no solution... 7/ I can provide a tgz file containing: ltestparm:result of testparm on SGI machine script:the original script in point 1/ linst4:the good list of the share obtained by tar tvf inst4.tar > linst4 diff-linst4_linst1 diff-linst4_linst2:diff between good tar and bad ones tar1trunc:Truncape script of good tar debug level 5 tar2trunc:Truncape script of bad tar debug level 5 Now, I put this bottle in the sea and i hope... Whatever you consider this message, thank you for all the job you are doing. Best regards and waiting...
