All, I have a stable fileserver that had a burp this morning. (OpenSUSE 10.2 + Samba 3.0.23d-19.7 + XFS, all from Novell)
A directory was created via a Rails App. (like always on this machine). Normally a traditional long filename and mangled short name are created. All is good even though I don't use short names for anything. Today, the longname somehow is reflecting what I assume is the mangled short name? Very strange. >From Linux Local, I see the long name I expect. >From a OpenSUSE 10.3 cifs client, I see the long name I expect. >From XP and possibly some other Windows OSes, I see just the mangled short name? Ie. "dir /X" only has one name and its the mangled short name in the long name column. I have not yet tried to remedy this. I'm guessing from a Windows client, I could do a rename to a random name, then rename back to what XFS has named it and all will be good. I can do that at any time, but if there is any diagnostic value in analyzing this, I'll hold off.
