I am running Red Hat 7.2 and using smbmount to mount a PC share from a NT4 SP5 Workstation. I have a folder, in this share, of around 300 files and when I do ls -l I get inconsistencies. Sometimes files are missing, and if I keep repeating the command the files are then appear again. Other times the size information is wrong. No one else is using, or changing, any of the files on the source workstation. Red Hat 7.2 comes with: samba-common-2.2.1a-4 samba-client-2.2.1a-4 samba-swat-2.2.1a-4 samba-2.2.1a-4 I would be grateful for any advice on how this can be solved asap.> Tom Hartwell > Senior Systems Analyst > BBC MediaArc > > * Work: 020 822 57710* Fax: 020 857 68727> * Room 4663, Stage 6 > Television Centre, Wood Lane, > London, W12 7RJ > * mailto:tom.hartwell@bbc.co.uk > * http://www.bbcmediaArc.comThis e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.

None of the information I have recieved so far has been enough to show where the error is. But I haven't had all that much time to spend on this problem either. A network trace (ethereal or 'tcpdump -s 1600 -w filename port 139') would show what is being received from the server. ethereal is very nice as it decodes the messages for you. Something else you could try is to boot a 2.2.x kernel and see if the problem remains.> Other times the size information is wrong.This one is new ... A network trace would show if the server is returning different sizes or if smbfs is somehow mixing the responses. /Urban
