[Samba] Win {vista, 7} + Offline folders + samba + clamfs resulting in .tmp files.
Hi Guys I am writing, hoping you could help me with this. As the subject states, I have a Samba (3.4.7) server. On it I have created 2 shares one that I access the files directly and the other share I access the same files via clamfs (1.0.1). Then I connect a Windows 7 machine to it. With offline files disabled, I have no problems, however with offline files enabled I am getting a lot of .tmp files when editing office files via the clamfs share. I have done some reading and as far as I can tell this happens on the save operation: 1. File gets saved as .tmp 2. Old file gets deleted 3. tmp file gets renamed to old file The problem is that step 3 never happens when working on the clamfs share. I have tried this article http://www.pcbg.co.za/threads/13075-Windows-7-Sync-Center-s-offline-file-sync-SAMBA, but no luck. I have also tried adding tmp to clamfs's whitelist, no change though. I can try getting some logs, but what verbosity level? Let me know where I can shine my flashlight and give you more details. Regards Ian

It seems the .tmp file creation is back, even when clamfs is disabled. Any ideas? Regards Ian
