this happens with windows 2003 servers too it's a problem with explorer.
the best way it s to limit the folder list to 100 and use subfolders
with a max of 100 etc
the xp64 and vista 64 have a different limit of 1000 in my experience.

Hello everyone.
I'm having a small problem while using samba 3.0.30 on FreeBSD that
two months of googling haven't managed to fix: when a folder
contains two many elements, Vista only lists a small amount of them.
I made my tests with a folder containing around 1000 sub-folders
(which have the same unix file mode). Vista was first only showing
around 250 of them. After upgrading samba to 3.0.30, Vista "sees"
around 400... When connecting from Mac OS X I can see the whole 1000
sub-folders. Has anyone already met this kind of problem?
Thanks for reading (and sorry for my poor English).
Some news from that:
- the missing folders contain no accent or any specific character
that may cause any problem,
- if I move any of the missing folders into any other less
"crowded" folder, I can see it and access it without any problem,
- if I enter the name of the missing folder in the address bar, I
can also access it without any problem.
- XP sees exactly the same amount of folders that Vista does,
- by just creating a new directory (`mkdir test`) in the folder,
the number of folders seen jumped from 411 to 548.
Thanks in advance for your help!
I might even add (sorry for spamming) that the number of folders seen
highly depends on actions such as creating a new sub-folder :
- as mentioned, creating a "test" folder increases the number of
folders seen to 548 ; deleting it brings back the counter to 411,
- creating a new folder "test" with Vista brings down the counter to
135,
- if I move all the folders in a new sub-folder, Vista now sees n -
1 of them. Moving them back brings the number of folders seen to what
it was.
That seems to be highly irrational... I tried to set a high debug
level, but accessing and refreshing the folder does not seem to
trigger any log. I also tried to deinstall and reinstall samba then
reboot the server, but that didn't change anything.
Thanks in advance for any help!
