The interesting thing is that I use Samba to share many directories on a ZFS filesystem, and I haven't run into the problem you or the other poster have mentioned. I wonder what's different about our setups that could explain what's going on... -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

If I really have to I can try adding some printf calls or something but my C skills are very rudimentary so it would take me a lot of time. I'll probably try to get a trace with wireshark today as well see if that has anything useful in it.

I don't know what the difference might be but I did some digging and found https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4715#c25 Setting "directory name cache size = 0" fixes the problem for me, apparently it's a performance killer but I don't have any directories with huge numbers of entries and the server is very overpowered for what it's used for. It's a workaround not a fix but it works for me till someone that has a better understanding of the systems involved fixes it correctly. My basic understanding (which may be wrong) is that Samba expects a certain thing relating to listing directories from FreeBSD that it does not do but most Linux distros do. The bug report link has vastly more detailed information.

In general, I really don't like the direction that bug is going. By that I mean, it gives me the impression that there's a ton of OS-specific code within the daemon, and the solution for them may be to add *another* layer of abstraction (by detecting the specific filesystem used on a share, and using different code per filesystem). I think this is bad. Julian, has there been any progress to resolve this outside of what's shown in the bug? I see your name mentioned in comment #6... :-) -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
