The veto files line for my share in /etc/samba/smb.conf includes the file
.DS_Store. For Mac clients accessing the share using SMB instead of AFP, the
.DS_Store file needs to be accessible and writable, otherwise the Finder will
hang trying to create it. Hope this helps!
I commented out the following line in my smb.conf:
#veto files = /.DS_Store/._.*/DesktopFolderDB/Network Trash
Folder/resource.frk/TheFindByContentFolder/TheVolumeSettingsFolder/
You might also want to consider telling OS X to NOT create .DS_Store
files on network volumes in the first place. .DS_Store files store
information about how you want things to display in Finder when you are
looking at that directory -- icons versus text, icon size, colored
highlighting on files and folders, etc.
Unless there is some specific reason why you WANT that functionality, it
is best to configure OS X to not create .DS_Store files on network
volumes. Allowing OS X to create these files can lead to all sorts of
problems if multiple users need to access a particular Samba share. One
OS X computer will tend to try to "own" the .DS_Store file, causing
other workstations to give you the beach ball or other kernel panics
when they cannot modify the same file.
To disable .DS_Store file creation:
* open Terminal in OS X (from /Applications/Utilities)
* run the following command, all on one line:
$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores
true
You may have to run it as sudo, i.e.,
$ sudo defaults write com.apple.desktopservices
DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
