Hello, I am mounting shares on a linux box from a win2K server box using CIFS. samba version Version 3.0.25b Then I am backing up the share using tar. On all directories after all the files in the directory are backed up I get the error file changed as we read it (for the directory) The files are backed up Any idea why ? It seems that I only get the error for a directory with files in it, if the directory has only more directories I don't get the error Secondly I get some odd permissions on some files like -rwxrwSrwt Thats Setgid without group execute and sticky with all execute. What does this mean for a cifs mount from a win2K machine ???
