this sounds a bit like something mysterious I had had today at work on
my Samba 3.6.18 server:
- On the Linux server I downloaded a file to my home directory (was a
simple *.txt file)
- On my Windows PC I could not see the file, but it was there on Linux
side
- I renamed the file on linux and then it was visible with the new
name on windows, too.
A different user had the following today:
- She created a file on the Samba share (same 3.6.18 server)
- But it wasn't visible from a different PC
- After about 3h it was suddenly visible without any changes.
The problem wasn't reproducable on both machines a second time.
We have this problem too.
Samba 3.6.18 on Gentoo, W7-64-Workstations.
A scanner puts his output on the samba server, but it's not visible for
the W7-Clients. A couple of minutes later it's visible. Refreshing
Explorer by pressing F5 doesnt help.
Same effect happens, if user A renames a file. User B sees the old
filename, and few minutes later it's okay.
I think, this is reproducible. I will check this next week and give you
the information about it.
