I figured it wasn't a directory/file number limitation, but wasn't entirely sure...I guess this confirms it...just as a check, were there any particularly large files/directories in there? I know that we have some directories that can get as big a 8 GB in size...just not sure if size plays into this at all either... > Someone shared that the permissions were possibly > incorrect, but that would only seem to apply to a > Samba server, not smbmount.

I'll double-check that and let you know...but as most of the directories are created by a script (on the windows side), and there haven't been any changes to the script, they *should* all be the same...but again, I'll confirm that. > /dev/idal > Thanks again Chris... -Joe > --- Chris de Vidal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To the list: We've been having some off-list > > conversation and I wanted to clue you in here.
