Hi, Using samba 2.2.7a, and I have a directory containing roughly 800 files, which have filenames ranging in length between 10 and 50 characters. When the directory is mounted on a linux machine, 'ls' produces no output roughly half the time. When it does produce output, it only lists about 500 of the files. Also, this means that when I rsync the files, these files are sometimes skipped, sometimes not (as far as I can tell). When I run ls on the directory, I get the following message in dmesg: smb_proc_readdir_long: name=, result=-2, rcls=1, err=123 I realise this may be fixed in samba 3.0 (I don't see anything jumping out at me from the release notes), but was wondering is this a regular occurance, and can it be fixed in 2.2.7a (I'd rather not move to 3.0 on production machines just yet). Any pointers would be much appreciated. Thanks. -DoC -- Dave O Connor Systems Administrator V O X P I L O T +353 1 209 1919
