Hi @all! I'm new to this list and neither a samba nor a Windows specialist. That said: We have some linux servers mounting windows shares. The problem is that reading files on the share changes the journal / USN on the Windows side. Now our backup guys are backing up a lot of stuff that hasn't really changed because the journal tells them different. Even when I mount read- only a simple cat or less on a file causes this. Is there a way to fix this? Thanks in advance Mario
