samba - Mar 2023 - Samba Issue for Mac

Dear Samba Team

I am a data scientist at the Research Computing Centre (HPC) at University of
Chicago.

Our Mac Samba issues are reporting the following issues:

  1.  Users can't save any file on the RCC server (Word, Excel, Image, or
PPT).
  2.
Some big data files/folders are not visible on the server. These files/folders
are only visible through the command line or only on a few computers.
  3.
Even in the systems through which files can be saved to the server, several
duplicate folders are generated every time anything is saved.
  4.
Some of the very important data files/folders are not opening and are indicating
"corrupt".

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Best
Himi

Sorry, but not from what you have posted, there just isn't enough 
information.

What OS is Samba running on ?
What version of Samba ?
How is Samba Running, as a standalone server or a Unix domain member, or 
a DC ?
Please post the output of 'testparm -s' (unless it is a DC, then post 
the output of 'samba-tool testparm')
