...s://lore.kernel.org/all/CAAmbk-e-YQAPo6QyNB0aJyc9qzUShmEC+x5eTR7wqp1ABWADsg at mail.gmail.com/T/ First I think we need to understand how broken telldir()/seekdir() is over NFS in this case. Do they work at all ? An alternate fix would be to change Samba to store the previously read filename on the STATUS_MORE_ENTRIES case (we've run out of return space) and then when the enumeration starts again use that stored filename, rather than doing the SeekDir() to move back to the just read entry preparing for the next round.

...doesn't have enough room to marshall the client response. No worries, we saved off the 'offset = telldir()' before doing the readdir that returned filename "m". So we seek back to the offset before the filename "m" in this code: if (NT_STATUS_EQUAL(status, STATUS_MORE_ENTRIES)) { dptr_SeekDir(dirptr, prev_dirpos); return status; } and return the findfirst reply with files a-l. Now when the listing continues, it'll do so with filename "m" etc. until the listing is done. If: offset = telldir() seekdir(offset)...

I'm trying to get to the bottom of where the normal directory functions differ in results for block storage compared to NFS. I created a short c script to look at the offsets generated for the directory when block storage backed in comparison to NFS backed. block storage backed are always positive: File: 5050, Offset: 9213006461214587617 File: 6567, Offset: 9218690536865144001 File: 4033,

Gerald, No worries. This patch is required if your using Rational ClearCase and you don't want everyone to have access to it. It's to fix a brokenness (IMO) within ClearCase, and maybe other programs. Our windows primary group has 10k+ users... I will shoot it off to Rational, so they can provide it to there customers. I was hoping it could be applied to the main tree so I could just

Ok, starting to make sense now. In order to fix it.... I note that the lower level calls are wrapped in dir.c - eg dptr_SeekDir(...) wraps SeekDir(...) this might allow for some code to use array indexes instead of NFS cookies as noted by Chris Chilvers here for the 3.10 kernel: https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAAmbk-e-YQAPo6QyNB0aJyc9qzUShmEC+x5eTR7wqp1ABWADsg at mail.gmail.com/T/ > On the
