Thanks for all the suggestions hkazemi. I have actually tried from a couple different PCs running Windows 7 and the result is the same. All were 'recently' reloaded from scratch but not since the problem started. I do not have any Vista machines available - I couldn't wait to get rid of that garbage!
Unfortunately I have lost the will to keep working on finding a solution for this problem, partly due to the fact that I have had very little luck getting other aspects of my OpenSolaris system working like Twonky Media Server and NZBGet - despite some seemingly excellent tutorials - I think I'm just cursed. I recently set up a Linux based D-Link DNS-323 NAS for a relative and I am really impressed at the capabilities that it has, especially the daily rsync backups that I was able to configure surprisingly easily. And it works flawlessly as a storage location for Windows 7 Media Center machines, which I guess answers one of your questions (the D-Link does use Samba). My wife has been pushing me to get rid of the big noisy full tower server and get one of these instead, and with the price of 2GB drives these days it really makes a lot of sense - I can have as much storage as I have in my OpenSolaris server in a box that is 1/10th the size and uses 1/3 or less power. I'm sure there is lots of potential functionality I'll be giving up to go this route but I'm prepared to live with the limitations it presents. Thanks again, I will post back if I change my mind and decide to implement any of the suggestions you made. I think I will try comparing the hash values in the next day or two while I'm waiting for my new NAS to arrive just so I can pinpoint the problem and possibly help the OpenSolaris CIFS development team out if it is indeed an OpenSolaris bug (as I suspect) and not some MS-weirdness (always a possibility!) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ cifs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/cifs-discuss
