Hi, I have my music library stored on a Debian 12 box using ext4 and shared to the network using Samba. The version of samba is 4.22.3-Debian-4.22.3+dfsg-4~bpo12+1 from bookworm-backports. I can see the music metadata for files stored there - eg Album, song Title, Artist etc and files copied from a Windows drive (NTFS) to the share retain the information. However, if I try to edit the data using Windows Explorer, all the music metadata is erased and no error is reported. (If I copy the file from the smb share to my Windows drive and make the edit there, the data is saved correctly.) My smb.conf on the domain member is: [global] netbios name = lxd-m1 security = ADS workgroup = MICROLYNX realm = MICROLYNX.ORG # disable smb1 # smb1 now disabled by default disable netbios = yes smb ports = 445 #client min protocol = smb2_02 #server min protocol = smb2_02 log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log log level = 1 # to prevent "Address family not supported by protocol" messages (ipv6) bind interfaces only = yes interfaces = lo eth0 dedicated keytab file = /etc/krb5.keytab kerberos method = secrets and keytab winbind refresh tickets = yes winbind use default domain = yes # Default idmap config used for BUILTIN and local accounts/groups idmap config *:backend = tdb idmap config *:range = 2000-9999 # idmap config for domain MICROLYNX idmap config MICROLYNX:backend = rid idmap config MICROLYNX:range = 10000-99999 # next two lines for testing only - comment-out once working ok # winbind enum users = yes # winbind enum groups = yes template shell = /bin/bash template homedir = /home/%U map acl inherit = yes # the next line is only required on Samba versions less than 4.9.0 # store dos attributes = yes # the next 2 lines are no longer needed -see https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2023-November/247267.html # username map = /etc/samba/user.map # allow administrator to access having been mapped to root (uid 0) # min domain uid = 0 # get backtrace for panic action # panic action = /usr/local/bin/gdb_backtrace %d # to prevent "smbd[314841]: process_usershare_file: stat of /var/lib/samba/usershares/users failed.

What am I missing? spindles7
