Hi Shai, Check out MS article Q319300. Since samba advertises it's fs by default as ntfs, this could be a problem with the machines you are seeing this on having indexing on: "Windows 2000 Content Indexing Server may add additional kmsearchhit0data kmsearchhit1streams to image files (.jpg, .gif, .bmp) that are stored on NTFS volumes.
CAUSE By default, a filter driver is installed that creates thumbnails of images. These thumbnails are stored in an kmsearchhit2alternate kmsearchhit3data kmsearchhit4stream that is called ?Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc." See the q article for info on a workaround... Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Shai [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 23, 2002 9:08 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Samba] alternate data streams problem hi all, I'm running into a strange problem: I'm running a samba 2.2.3a server on a linux machine. one win2k client is saving a directory full of pictures to this server but all pictures files (jpg, tif...) are saved as three files, two of the as the alternate data streams files of the original. it looks like this: Pb060009.jpg (the original file) Pb060009.jpg:{4c8cc155-6c1e-11d1-8e41-00c04fb9386d}:$DATA Pb060009.jpg:Q30lsldxJoudresxAaaqpcawXc:$DATA this happened only to two clients and only with pictures. other machine save pics normally without the alternate data streams being seen. does anyone have a clue? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
