samba - Nov 2012 - File update detection

Hello,

I run Samba 4.0.0-168.fc18.rc5.x86_64 on my Linux box. I use an editor 
on my Windows box to edit files on one of the Samba shares and that 
editor has a file update detection mechanism, polling every x seconds 
for changes to file modification timestamp. And around every 12 to 14 
seconds it pops up the files have been changed while they aren't. Any 
idea what may cause this?

Kind regards,

Dennis Verspuij

There are too many possible causes to tell with only these details.

I would try inotify on the samba box to determine what is the process
causing the change.

If its the samba process that is doing the change I would look at the
Windows box process list.
Procmon might help you

For Smaba3.

man smb.conf

dos filetime resolution

and/or

fake directory create times

May be, a registry entry may fix this client behavior
