Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
After upgrade to Lucid the samba clients can't open symlinked directories any more. The following related options are added to /etc/samba/smb.conf : follow symlinks = yes wide symlinks = yes unix extensions = no When I try to list this symlinked directory with ls -la /media/samba/, one time it appears: ..... drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 0 2010-02-05 12:09 sdb7 ..... then if I run ls -la /media/samba/ second time, the output is: ..... d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sdb7 ..... continuing to list it, with ls -la /media/samba/, the output is the first again (drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 0 2010-02-05 12:09 sdb7), then the second (d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sdb7) ... etc. Like a semaphore. :-) No way to change to sdb7 directory. The sdb7 is linked outside the user's home. ls -la /home/joe/ ..... lrwxrwxrwx 1 joe joe 24 2009-01-18 23:11 sdb7 -> /media/sdb7/data/vol0/ ..... However there is no problem with directories that linked inside user joe's home. (Like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 joe joe 35 2008-04-13 21:45 TransGaming_Drive -> /home/joe/.cedega/GFSGL//c_drive ) I can change to that 'TransGaming_Drive' directory on mounted samba volume without problem. $ lsb_release -rd: Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) Release: 10.04 $ apt-cache policy samba: samba: Installed: 2:3.4.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 2:3.4.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2:3.4.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status $ apt-cache policy samba-common samba-common: Installed: 2:3.4.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2 Candidate: 2:3.4.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2 Version table: *** 2:3.4.6~dfsg-1ubuntu2 0 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: samba (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: samba ** Description changed: Binary package hint: samba After upgrade to Lucid the samba clients can't open symlinked directories any more.
