For what it's worth, this behavior is not limited to Samba servers. I have the exact same problem using standard Microsoft servers. Dir EC05*.* might return a file named EC11*.* which is also visible if you Dir EC11*.*. The main difference is that my problem doesn't seem to be reproducible like yours. During the course of a month we generate several thousand of these files which are processed then archived and deleted. The names are all unique, containing date/time stamps. In the course of a month maybe 10 of these files will be affected as you describe. We have modified our code to monitor for this situation and give warnings. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
