We're observing a strange problem when trying to delete 226 files out of a directory that is 7 levels deep. Each time we do "del *.*" in the command window, most of the files are deleted, and the rest report "The system cannot find the file specified." The number of errors correspond to the number of files not deleted, but the files reported as not being found do not correspond to the files that weren't deleted. This occurs exactly the same way each time. On the first pass, all but 35 files are deleted, on the second all but 9 are deleted, and then the third pass deletes the rest. Also, the same files are involved each time. We successfully deleted all 226 files using Windows NT explorer with no noticeable errors. We're running Samba 2.0.0 with the file truncation patch on an Ultra 2 running Solaris 7 in 64 bit mode. The NT client is 4.0 with SP4/128 bit.
