Anyone have any input on this one. I'm running Samba version 1.9.18p10 on an HP9000 HP_UX 10.20. An NT 4.0 server writes files to a UNIX directory and periodically a shell script runs to process any new files found. Occasionally a file isn't found for several hours after it has been created, then mysteriously appears in the UNIX directory. So far this hasn't been a major problem, but these are orders which a dealer expects to have confirmed within the hour.

Thanks for the tip. I set oplock off for the problem share. It may take several days to know if it has any effect, because it is a sporadic problem. I'll keep you posted. ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Files not found on UNIX.
