In a directory with approximately 6000 files, several files are missing on the Windows side. If I check the directory on Unix (AIX) they are all there. As far as I can see there's nothing strange with this files en I can't see any connection between the missing files. It looks like it's randomly. A few examples of missing files: FAKTREF.10062005.16 (See debug information)

Hello All, I'm having problems accessing getting a directory listing from samba(3.0.23d) with win xp clients. I can mount a share from win xp, create a directory, create a file, edit the file, etc. But listing the directory contents is fickle. If its a very small directory things appear to work fine. But a directory with around 30 files seems to hang and eventually returns "File Not

I'm having problems with one share. It's mounting a directory on an isilon over NFS. I've re-created the setup on the same machine where the data is and that works fine, it's just the existing share gives trouble. I can create a file, but not rename and sometimes not delete. Also saving file from say photoshop result in two empty files being created one with the proper filename

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

I'm using samba 3.0.25a on a Solaris 9 box with separate W2K and XP clients accessing a share. The issue I'm having is that not all files appear in folder listings via Explorer/DOS windows on the XP client. This only happens when an app on the W2K side is simulateously accessing/creating files on the same share but not neccessarily in the same folder. I've since run samba in top

Hello, I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing I can do about it).

On the old cluster there were only connection/closed

Hi, Hoping you can help. I've updated my samba server (PDC) from 3.0.10 to 3.0.14a as part of updating from FC3 to FC4. I now find I cant see inside any of the shares, even though I can see the share names themselves and the directories are quite readable to Linux processes.
