I tried getfacl on both the share directory and the files within it, but it showed only the regular UNIX permissions, no access control lists. Nevertheless I tried mounting the filesystem that contains /mnt/data/multimedia with noacl, but it made no difference...

Kind regards,

Unless I missed it there was no further discussion of ACLs?

Run mount on the linux box and look to see if that filesystem is mounted
with the acl option.  If it was, you can either remountit without ACLs
or reset the ACLs on the filesystem.

Run getfacl on the directory and see if there's anything out of bounds
there; that's quite frankly the only thing I can think of that would
cause this behaviour.  Disappearing files have *always* been due to a
mismatch between Samba permissions and those set by the underlying
filesystem in my experience (10+ years of Samba and counting).  Not to
say that it's impossible you've found something new and different, but
statistics say it's very likely a permissions/ acl issue.

HTH,
Rubin

His directory is already 777 and the 500 is the UID of pepijn on the
serve unless I miss my guess. I also had him check all permissions on
the directories above it to make sure they were at least 755 and they
were. BTW Pepijn, you might want o make sure that your userid is the same on
all of your linux boxes.. just check /etc/passwd to make sure username
Pepijn is userid 500, then on any system you have to change it, I
recommend running (as root) 'find / -user <olduid> -exec chown 500 {}
\;'
This may or may not have any affect on this problem. also check the
usermapping, maybe there is something there.

Let's see if it's permissions(which is what I think it is).  chmod 777 *
in that directory and then see if it works.  Then we can figure out what
went on.  The uid of 500 of the new file seems strange.

What parameters are set on the share?  Anything like map system, map

This is the share definition:

        [multimedia]
        comment = Multimedia Files
        path = /mnt/data/multimedia
        public = yes
        writable = yes
        printable = no
        write list = pepijn

So no map system or map hidden. I should also note that neither the
share
definition nor the contents of the directory have changed. The only
thing
that happened was that the server, which used to be my router and
firewall
also, is now only a file server and no longer has a static IP address.



Are you using ACL's?

I don't think so. How can I tell?



What about giving us an ls -l of a
directory that isn't showing files.

Here's the ouput of ls -al on /mnt/data/multimedia:

When I mount the share on another Linux system using this command:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=pepijn //10.0.0.163/multimedia roadrunner/

And then perform an ls -al in the roadrunner directory the output is as
follows:

total 2052
drwxrwxrwx 11    500    500    0 2008-05-17 14:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 22 pepijn pepijn 4096 2008-05-21 13:50 ..

-rwxr--r--  1    500    500    6 2008-05-17 14:08 test.txt

As you can see it only show the two test files I created since this
problem started.



Is it just files or does it happen to
folders too.
It happens with both.

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

*Bump* Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm still at a loss and so it seems is everyone else... :-) In short: on one of my existing Samba 3.0 shares (Linux server, ext3 filesystem) all existing files have suddenly become invisible, but it is

still possible to create, modify and delete new files (and I see no differences between these new files and the existing ones). This happens

with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux CIFS and Linux smclient clients, so it is likely to be a server problem. I'm stuck and I'm hoping a bright mind from this list will be able to help! Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz
