Hello, thank you for your help and here is a small summary: It turned out, that customer application does a wildcard search " wcard = c55crvtu.m1>". In windows the kernel does directory filtering. In POSIX, any wildcard filtering is done in userspace - which means as soon as a wildcard is received, we have to do a complete directory traversel. If the client asks for a file using file name samba does not do complete directory search (since 3.0.12 and using the documented parameters in smb.conf, see http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/largefile.html). Unfortunately, in this case it asks for multiple files using wildcard and samba needs to do a userspace match with the wildcard given against the list of returned names. A workaround can be written using VFS with new opendir() call, see http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2005-June/041562.html . We will try to work with customer to change application first.
