[gentoo-user] files disappearing using samba
Hi. I have what seems to me a strange problem using samba. The version is 3.5.6. Now what is happening is that in certain directories if I try to look at those directories using that other operating system, and I am coming in as root, all the files are not seen. I know they are there, but Samba seems to ignore them -- I can ssh in and get them, but no Samba. Anyone seen this and what can I do about it? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. -- Your life is like a penny. You're going to lose it. The question is: How do you spend it? John Covici cov...@ccs.covici.com
Re: [gentoo-user] files disappearing using samba
i think i had a similar issue like this one. i setup one of my linux dictionary as a samba folder, in which i have some files which names are in Chinese. my problem is some of the files cannot be seen when connecting to that samba dictionary from linux, bu i can see all of them if i connect to that folder from windows. i think the problem is more like a file name encoding issue. but i did not find a way to solve it either :( On Tue, Nov 30, 2010 at 9:23 AM, cov...@ccs.covici.com wrote: Hi.

Sounds like directory/files permissions issue...
