Walter, Thanks for the suggestion. I will check out sharity.
The problem is not file names. I did a little more experimentation and found that if I use a perl script like: find2perl /smbfs -ls > doit.pl perl doit.pl | wc perl doit.pl | wc perl doit.pl | wc perl doit.pl | wc That the number of lines tends to increase until all the files are shown, but I have to do it rapidly. If I wait for a little bit then do: perl doit.pl | wc the count goes down again. If I use: ls -Ral /smbfs | wc find /smbfs -ls | wc these never seem to show all the files. The files are definitely there and accessible via the smbfs. If I compare the file list generated on the linux side to one created on the windows to find which files are not listed, I can list them individually by: ls -l /smbfs/path/to/missing/file without a problem. So you can see why this is a fairly alarming problem. -Steve On 23 Oct 2002 at 6:19, Walter Mautner wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:samba-admin@;lists.samba.org] On Behalf Of > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Tuesday, October 22, 2002 8:06 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: Re: [Samba] Files Missing on smbfs on RH 7.3 > > > > > > So nobody has a clue as to what might be causing this problem or how > > to fix it?
