Hello samba-users,
I have a problem with mangled-name-collision :
I have 2 files with long filenames on a samba-server (V2.07, solaris).
The filenames are
xxxxx_APB.h and xxxxx_SEL.h
For some reason the first part of the name has to be xxxxx_
The mangle name of both files is XXXXX_~5X.H (look at the fileproperties in
explorer)
That means to me, that the hash-algorithm,
which generates the MS-DOS-name is too weak and produced a name-collision.
That happens not so rarely as the samba-docu says. In our environment
it happens every few weeks. We develop large
software-projects and the names of many *.h-files sound similar.
Occasionaly we have to use old 16-bit-applications and then we have trouble
with these files.
Are there other smb.conf-parameters to enhance the hash-algorithm to
avoid the name-collision ?
Or can someone PLEASE rewrite the mangling-functions (I think in
smbd/mangle.c) so that the samba-mangling-behaviour is the
same as in a real NT-server ? (I'm only a sysadmin and dont want to
modify the sources)
A true Windows-NT-server doesn't have this problem.
I posted this problem a few month ago to the samba-list, but never
get an answer.
Regards,
