samba - Feb 2008 - recycle module creates empty files (0 KB)

Hi,

I have a strange behaviour when creating new files.  When opening word,
excel, ppt or txt to create a new document (e.g. I use the word icon on
the desktop to start word) and save the file to the home share H: an
empty (0 KB) file with the same name as the saved document is created in
the trash folder. Why this second empty file in the trash folder?

Going directly to the home share H: and create a new document using
right mouse click "new / word document" and save to H: no empty file
is
found in the trash folder. Strange?

Here is my config running on 3.0.24-6etch9 Samba:

[...]
        recycle: repository=Trash
        recycle: keeptree=True
        recycle: versions=True
        recycle: touch=True
        recycle:exclude = *.tmp *.temp *.o *.obj ~$* *.~??
[...]

Any help is welcome!

Thanks,
Marcus

It may something to do with the way Windows/Office works.

When you create a new file or open an existing one, it creates a weird 
hidden file with ~ at the beginning of  the name, then deletes this when 
the file is saved/closed.

There may be some parameters you can set to hide this behavior, but I 
don't know what they might be... sorry.

I found this message in the list with a patch to fix this problem using
the recycle:minsize parameter
 
  http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2006-July/048054.html

After looking to the source of the Debian package 3.0.24-6etch9 is seems
that the minsize feature doesn't come with the 3.0.24 version. Is there
a patch for version 3.0.24?

Ciao!
