Hi,

A client has an Iomega REV drive installed on a PC and this is used for the off-site backups. This drive has disks left in and then that drive on the PC is shared out.

I mount the share with

mount -t cifs //10.1.1.20/XP61REV /mnt/xp61 -o username=user,password=password,rw

and this is mounted on to a Debian Etch / Samba 3.0.24-6 machine.

Now when I 'ls' or 'find' this share it only returns 43 file names. If I delete a couple files at the begining of the list (alphanumerically) then the next 43 are shown.

I need to delete all of the existing files on the share before I then copy across the latest backup copies.

To delete all of the files I run

# find /mnt/xp61 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 --max-args=1 -r --verbose /bin/rm # find /mnt/xp61 -type f -print0 | xargs -0 --max-args=1 -r --verbose /bin/rm

several times to make sure all files have been deleted.

OK - so I have a workaround but thought this needed clarifying.

Cheers,

Kevin
