The check it does is first lstat() and later fstat() just before closing. If their ctimes differ, it complains. lstat()'s ctime seems to be two seconds behind fstat(). > I had someone that I thought I had tricked into testing this but I haven't > heard anything for a while.

I think the idea is to make sure the time is changed when a file has been written to (NT4 doesn't, or not always?). I had someone that I thought I had tricked into testing this but I haven't heard anything for a while. The relevant code is (probably) this file/function in the kernel source tree: fs/smbfs/proc.c:smb_proc_close_inode() Try removing the "Kludge alert" parts and if that fails, the smb_proc_setattr_ext() call.

[Samba] Create time changing by itself?
Are there some known problems related to ctime changing by itself? I didn't find anything with google at least. tar seems to be complaining about it all the time: [cras@hurina] ~% tar cf test.tar /mnt/cygwin/home tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: /mnt/cygwin/home/Timo Sirainen/xxx/x.xxx: file changed as we read it This happens with my Debian/unstable (samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-4, 2.4.19 kernel) but also with default Redhat 8 installation. With the Redhat system cp'ing files also complains about this. Both are reading files shared by Windows 2000 (mount //comp/c$ /mnt -o username=xx). It seems to happen mostly when taring larger files. 10MB file was enough with my Debian system. It also needs to read a couple of files before the larger one. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
