I use to export a CD fs through samba. The cdrom is a SCSI toshiba on Adaptec AIC7880. The CD is the (genuine M$) Office 97Pro. Mount shows it as iso 9660. Linux RH5.2/k2.2.2 on a Digital SMP server. Samba 2.0.2 Given some time after the mount, some files "dissapear". They cannot be seen neither through unix commands nor through samba. Umounting/mounting the CD solves the trouble, but samba is very slow on releasing closed files so this is not an option. Any ideea about why does this happen ? TIA Claudiu
