samba - Sep 2004 - Problems with Samba 3.0.5 only seeing 1360 files on a share to a Windows 2000

Hi,

	I have a share:

	[share]
        path = /appl/md/data
        valid users = +asd
        write list = +asd
        read only = No
        create mask = 0664
        directory mask = 0775

	And it has directories that have 3000 files in them, but when I look
at the same directory thru a Windows 2000, I only see 1360 files, no more.
If I type the path a file that isn't shown in the directory listing, I can
get to it. Also if I create a new file in the directory, it gets created,
but doesn't show in the directory list.

	Any ideas? Looks like a Windows thing, but...

	Thanks

In dos (win 2000 cmd) it's shows the same, but under linux I seen all the
files.

Has anyone seen this before?

Does dir show this the same?
Can you try to smbmount your share back to your machile and see what Linus
will show?

I have seen something like that, but only about 130 entries (files or 
dir's) were seen. ls -l showed 146 entries, the same amount was returned 
by ls in smbclient.
I am using samba 3.0.7 from FreeBSD port. FreeBSD verision is 4.10.
Yesterday I tried to simulate such situation - I've created about 1800 
directory entries (using mktemp), but in Windows 2000 all of them were 
seen. I suppose, the amount of seen entries depends on their name's lengths.
I've also made some syscall tracing on smbd when listing such directory 
(the one with 146 long entries) and it looked way like this:

[..]
read dir
stat entry #1
stat entry #2
.
.
stat entry #130
send partial response to socket (about 16kB)
stat entry #131
.
.
stat entry #146
send the rest of response (about 1-2 kB)

In Windows only entries sent in first response were seen.

Does anyone have any idea?
Maybe analyzing responses from Windows server would help (for example 
using Ethereal) ?
