Hi, to have an access from a linux box (kernel 2.4.21-27)to a shared directory on a windows XP computer I run the following command : mount -t smbfs //A/Pixel_Prod /mnt/A -o username=test Then find /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 -type f -size +0 | wc -l 747 find /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 -type f -size +0 | wc -l 747 find /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 -type f -size +0 | wc -l 746 find /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 -type f -size +0 | wc -l 746 find /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 -type f -size +0 | wc -l 746 find /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 -type f -size +0 | wc -l 747 The number of files is different sometimes ... (the directory /mnt/A/TurboDAQ_files_5.6/M510563 is always the same between each find command) If someone has an idea to correct this Thanks Karim
