I am new user of samba and I'm running in a non standard environment. I
would presume that this is a pilot error.
I'm running Red Hat Fedora 4 Linux on Microsoft's Virtual PC on my
laptop
running Windows XP. I have a samba share (/tmp) on the vPC on Linux that is
visible/mountable on laptop.
The problem is:
using 'cp' and/or 'mv' on files in the samba share are not
viewable from in
an XP explorer window (even after several minutes, refreshing, rebooting,
'touch'-ing the file on Linux, restarting smbd on linux, setting
permissions
equivalent to visible files etc). If I cp or mv a dir-tree on the samba
share on Linux, the directories in the directory tree are immediately
visible on Windows, the files in the directories are not visible.
I can edit (vim) a Windows visible file in the samba share on Linux and the
change is viewable on Windows and the reverse is also true.
I can also 'rm' a Windows visible file in the samba share on Linux and
the
file is deleted from the Windows view.
I looked at the smbd and nmbd logs and I don't see any errors. My
smb.confis very simple and testparm doesn't report any errors. I've
included my
smb.conf below. The share in question is [tmp].
I went through the Samba recommended debugging path and while things aren't
perfect I don't think the imperfections are causing the problem as I do
appear to have bidirectional communication. If anyone has any ideas or input
as next steps or things to check I would appreciate it.
