Hi again folks,
Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, further testing has shown that
whether a file is missing or not does not depend on the file size.
Unlike Stuart Bailey, renaming the missing files did not help my situation.
I have so far determined that which files are missing does not depend on
permissions, file name or file size. All files are visible on the
Windows client (as they should be) with Samba 3.0.0; some files become
invisible with Samba 3.0.14a. I have not tried any intermediate versions
of Samba, so I do not know when this "bug" was introduced.
Is anyone else seeing this? Any troubleshooting suggestions would be
greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Stuart,
By any chance, are the missing files very large? I am having a similar
problem with Samba 3.0.14a on Irix 6.5.17, and in my case it appears to
be related to file size. Large files (>1.2 GB) and the folders
containing them do not show up on the Windows client. This problem did
not exist in my previous version of Samba, 3.0.0 (which I've been forced
to revert to).
Cheers,
Paul

Hi,
I am using Fedora Core 3 as a server for both Unix (Solaris and HPUX)
and Windows Xp clients. The Unix clients view the files through an NFS
v3 share, and windows client use samba (3.0.8-0.pre1.3).
When looking at a directory from the server, or from a Unix client, I
can see 132 files. However, from the Windows client, I can only see 65
files. There appear to be nothing special about the files names (we
have already removed spaces etc from the filenames incase they caused
a problem).
If I mount the samba shares via smbfs on the server (to a new mount
point), I can see all 132 files, so I suspect the problem is not samba.
I have checked the file permissions, and although they have various
owners, all permissions are 666. There seems to be no consistency
between files that are missing.
I have tried a number of different Xp machines and they all exhibit
the same symptoms.
Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Stuart.
