I have recently seen something odd with Samba 2.0.7. I have a share that access an NFS mounted file system on the Samba server. When I write to that file, I am getting a file that is the right length but contains all NULLs instead of the real data. I set up a share on the same Samba server that writes to a local file system. If I write the file to this share instead, everything is fine. I captured level 10 logs of both situations. I can clearly see that the NULLs are being written but I don't see any error indication that would explain this result. I then grabbed SAMBA_2_2 CVS as of 2/5/02 16:13 EST and repeated the test. This time, both files were written correctly. I realize that 2.0.7 is not the current release. However, there have been significant problems with the 2.2.x releases under Solaris. I can't put the new release into production until I am sure that these problems are solved. I have level 10 logs of all 4 situations 1. Samba 2.0.7, share is to NFS mount 2. Samba 2.0.7, share is to local disk 3. SAMBA_2_2, share is to NFS mount 4. SAMBA_2_2, share is to local disk I am including excerpts from item 1, which writes nulls to the file. I hesitate to include full details for all because it would be 12,000+ lines. I can provide the logs on request. Any assistance or insight would be appreciated. 1.
