Hi All, I've done quite a bit of research on this one and if I'm honest about the cause of this "fault" it's probably because I'm trying to do too much "outside the box" :) Nevertheless I enjoy the challenge so here is the scenario:
I have a Samba Service (v3.2.5) providing file shares running on Debian 2.6. The samba server uses a Windows Domain server for authentication There are many shares available from the server and all use the Domain for authentication - with each group having an appropriate permission on each share (none, read only, read/write) All shares are local mount points (except for a new share below) I had to "force" the file and directory perms because the macs didn't create nice file and directories The shares are accessed by Macs and Windows PCs and all has been working fine for over a year until... Here is the change and the problem: A new mount point with fstab entry has been added on the linux server connecting the linux server to a share on a remote windows server (also on the Windows Domain) A "service account" has been created on the Windows Domain for the linux box to access the windows share - this account has been given full rights on the windows share and file system A new samba share has been added, settings configured as above, forced perms, using the windows domain, etc. Windows clients have no issues whatsoever. However, the Macs all of which are Snow Leopard do have show stopping issues; When creating a file we get this error: The Finder can’t complete the operation because some data in <FILENAME> can’t be read or written. (Error code -36) The file that should have appeared on the windows share is there but 0B in size, the mac "turd" ._ file is present, 4096B in size, and looks "good"? (apologies for the "turd" expression but macs do s**t all over the file system!) here is a dump of the ls for the directory (sensitive stuff removed): debian01:/mnt/remotedata/Jobs/Current/79700 NOSS Reports/Original# ls -la total 636 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-10-03 12:24 . drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 2012-09-27 06:46 .. -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 4886 2012-08-30 09:30 BAP.csv -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 143503 2012-08-30 09:30 BAP_August 2012.docx -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 200296 2012-09-05 10:04 BAP_August 2012.pdf -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 91557 2012-08-30 09:29 CC.csv -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 6148 2012-09-04 11:43 .DS_Store -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 4096 2012-10-03 12:26 ._TEST.pdf -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 0 2012-10-03 12:24 TEST.pdf -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 59852 2012-08-30 09:29 NOSS Report August 2012.docx -rwxrwSrwx 1 root root 126390 2012-09-05 10:04 NOSS Report August 2012.pdf Note the files *TEST.pdf - these are the files created by the Mac (the other files have been created by windows clients. More info can be provided, of course - but I'm not sure where to look first! Any help will be appreciated.
