Hi, I'm having a problem using the "rd /s" cmd.exe command from my win2k &
XP boxes to delete directories on SunOS 5.7 machine running Samba 2.2.3a.
All the files were created from win2k. The problem is
when I try "rd /s" on certain directories, I get incorrect error messages
that say:
"The system cannot find the file specified.",
and most surprisingly
"Cannot create a file when that file already exists."!
Running "rd /s" a second time on the same directory finishes the deletion
job, but this seems like a bug in either cmd.exe, win2k or samba. The
problem seems to have to do with dirs that contain
2 files with long filenames that map to short filenames that differ only in
the last char of the extension. See my example sequence of cmds to cmd.exe
below, I'm pretty sure the file sizes and contents are irrelevant. This
isn't a new bug, I've been seeing it since samba 2.0.6. Can anyone help me
here?
Thanks.
