hi folks.... unfortunately, i can only give you 2nd-hand info, because i usually do not have access to the machine/network i am reporting about:
the server just upgraded from debian woody to debian sarge and thus samba 3.0.0final-1 was installed. now the Win2K client does not show all files in the home-directory of the accessing user which it did before with version 2.2.3. the home-directory contains about 500+ files/directories. i assume that it does not matter if the directory in question is the home-directory or any other beneath it. new directories can be created but they fail to be displayed on the client, though the new one exists as can be seen in a shell on the server. we also realised that moving some dirs/files around, thus reducing the total amount of items to be displayed, actually helps. the threshold could be 512 or so. there does not seem to be a parameter in smb.conf to adjust that number, so it seems that it is either "unlimited" (or better /proc/sys/fs/file-max) or defined somewhere in the sources to a relatively low number. though i found some rather old manual at http://www.os9samba.com/manual.html which talks about max-files-per-directory. well, this should describe the problem fair enough. i already reported a bug #220596) in debian, but no one replied to it, yet. the smb.conf is supplied and a log (level 3) of a session can be given if needed. please cc: me, i am not on the list. cheers, sebastian -- ::: .O. ::: ..O ::: OOO ::: lynx -source http://www.kodeaffe.de/shensche.pub | gpg --import
