Re: [Samba] Files missing when using windows XP and samba - not size-dependent
Hi again folks, Contrary to what I wrote yesterday, further testing has shown that whether a file is missing or not does not depend on the file size. Unlike Stuart Bailey, renaming the missing files did not help my situation. I have so far determined that which files are missing does not depend on permissions, file name or file size. All files are visible on the Windows client (as they should be) with Samba 3.0.0; some files become invisible with Samba 3.0.14a. I have not tried any intermediate versions of Samba, so I do not know when this "bug" was introduced. Is anyone else seeing this? Any troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks, Paul Paul Dunphy wrote: Hi Stuart, By any chance, are the missing files very large? I am having a similar problem with Samba 3.0.14a on Irix 6.5.17, and in my case it appears to be related to file size. Large files (>1.2 GB) and the folders containing them do not show up on the Windows client. This problem did not exist in my previous version of Samba, 3.0.0 (which I've been forced to revert to).

There appear to be nothing special about the files names (we have already removed spaces etc from the filenames incase they caused a problem).

There seems to be no commonality between the sizes of missing files and those that are visible. The only thins I have noticed is that there are some files which have spaces in their names.

Re: [Samba] Files missing when using windows XP and samba
Make sure that there are read permissions on the missing files and read and execute permissions on any missing directories. For files: chmod 644. For directories: chmod 755. --Dane On Tuesday 05 July 2005 09:03 pm, Paul Dunphy wrote: > Hi Stuart, > > By any chance, are the missing files very large?

Hi Stuart, By any chance, are the missing files very large? I am having a similar problem with Samba 3.0.14a on Irix 6.5.17, and in my case it appears to be related to file size. Large files (>1.2 GB) and the folders containing them do not show up on the Windows client. This problem did not exist in my previous version of Samba, 3.0.0 (which I've been forced to revert to).

Thanks Gerard, I have tried that to no effect. The problem is still there. Many thanks, Stuart.

[Samba] Files missing when using windows XP and samba
Hi, I am using Fedora Core 3 as a server for both Unix (Solaris and HPUX) and Windows Xp clients. The Unix clients view the files through an NFS v3 share, and windows client use samba (3.0.8-0.pre1.3). When looking at a directory from the server, or from a Unix client, I can see 132 files. However, from the Windows client, I can only see 65 files. There appear to be nothing special about the files names (we have already removed spaces etc from the filenames incase they caused a problem). If I mount the samba shares via smbfs on the server (to a new mount point), I can see all 132 files, so I suspect the problem is not samba. I have checked the file permissions, and although they have various owners, all permissions are 666. There seems to be no consistency between files that are missing. I have tried a number of different Xp machines and they all exhibit the same symptoms. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks Stuart. -- --- Stuart Bailey BSc (hons) CEng CITP MBCS LinuSoft (Proprietor) Linux Specialist (01953) 601294 (07778) 383739 http://www.linusoft.co.uk ** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential.
