Hi,
I posted this on the clug list but got no reply.
I just recently upgraded to samba 2.2.5 on my SuSE 8.0 box. I compiled samba
myself because I needed the ldap stuff. Now someone who uses XP has found that
when he copies a file from my samba volume to a webdav volume it always deletes
the original file in the samba volume.
This is weird and only seems to occur in this exact circumstance - copying in
any other way between other mounted filesystems does what you expect.
Normally when copying between volumes in XP you get a special cursor that tells
you a copy will take place, in this case with a normal drag copy the plus does
not appear when the mouse is hovering over the webdav folder. Even attempting
to force the copy with the control key or right-drag or copy-paste does not stop
the original being deleted.
Anyone have any ideas? Is this a known bug? Is there a *simple* samba config
option to fix it?
