Hello, i currently have this problem: i have a samba server acting as a fileshare. One share contain a file "test.txt". My problem : 1) on the linux client: i mount the share using mount.cifs 2) on the linux client: the file can be seen: [client:root] > ls -l /mnt/test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 13:54 /mnt/test.txt 3) on the samba server: i delete the file 4) on the linux client: the file can't be seen anymore => ok [client:root] > ls -l /mnt/test.txt ls: /mnt/test.txt: No such file or directory 5) on the samba server: i create the same file [master:root] > touch test.txt 6) on the linux client: the file still can't be found: [client:root] > ls -l /mnt/test.txt ls: /mnt/test.txt: No such file or directory Is this normal ? I this related to a inode cache table ? If yes, how can i make this to work ? 7) on the linux client: doing a 'ls' on the mount point show me the file [client:root] > ls -l /mnt/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 13:54 /mnt/test.txt ... 8) now the 'ls' on the file is correct [client:root] > ls -l /mnt/test.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Sep 21 13:54 /mnt/test.txt Any suggestions ? NB: using smbfs don't show this problem Thanks ! -- J?r?me
