[Samba] File Change notification in Samba
Hi, I wanted to know is Samba able to notify any changes made to the shared directory or files to the clients instantly or not? If I change/edit the file in a shared path and some clients are viewing that file will the changes get reflected to them instantly without doing a to refresh by the clients. I came across sumthing called CHANGE NOTIFY in samba configuration parameters but i m not sure how to make use of it as it is set to YES by default. Any help in this area as to how we can enable change notification in SAMBA will be extremely useful.

If it does not work with 3.0.28a or later, please tell us. But please be aware that recent Windows client seem to have a caching policy that goes beyond notify, so that although Samba sends notifications Windows would not update the explorer Window. Someone on this list could reproduce it against a Windows server as well.

Hi, As far as I'm aware, this won't work in windows either, nor will it work using Linux files between linux systems [0]. Am I correct in thinking that you want to have a single file updated in real-time from a number of locations? M.

The change notify stuff I talked about only works for directories, not for file contents. For file content's it is a matter of the applications themselves, but I'm not aware of a mechanism that would allow this to work cross-platform.

Hi, I was not able to see any directory changes also without refreshing it. I tried adding files and renaming the existing one but was not able to see the changes on the windows explorer. We need to set sumthing in the samba.conf for this to happen?

If you created the file in unix, there's no way in that Linux version this can be transferred to user space with 3.0.30. If you created the file with another windows client, it should work. If that is the case, please file a bug at https://bugzilla.samba.org and upload your smb.conf and a debug level 10 log of both smbds, the one that created the file, and the one that should see the notify.

[Samba] File change notification.
Regarding the following thread. http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2005-March/040075.html Does anyone know where to obtain the patch, it appears to be truncated in the mail archive. I am having the same problem, Windows 2003 + IIS6 is not updating cached ASP and ASP.NET pages. I see that Samba replies to all file change notification requests with 0x010C (STATUS_NOTIFY_ENUM_DIR), however IIS does not seem to respect this response. Thanks. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
