[Samba] Name mangling problem
Hello all, I am exporting my linux home directory to my XP machine using samba-3.0.24-4.fc5. Some of the files in my mp3 subdirectory are showing up mangled. When I try to set mangled names = no on my share, then the files stop being mangled, but the files that were mangled before are no longer accessible. The mangling is inconvenient because what will often happen is that one or two of the files in the middle of an album will get mangled, thus separating those files in the filelist from all of the others. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I have ~500 files in my mp3 directory. Which files get mangled does seem to be somewhat random. None of the files have the same name, although there are multiple groups of files that all have start with the same 10-30 characters. I do not have any older clients. Is there some way to tell samba that it can assume that all of the clients can handle long filenames? I have tried several settings, but nothing seems to work. My samba server is running FC5 with samba 3.0.24-4. I am running XP service pack 2 on my XP machine. Thank you very much in advance.

[Samba] Name mangling problem
We have a few applications which are still 16bit (running on Win2k clients), and since moving some user data from NT4 to Samba, users have encountered the unpredictable filename mangling issue, where New Folder appears as NUJRHW~7. Users use 8.3 filenames when working in these programs, but often have folders with long filenames that are now unrecognizable. Is there any workaround for this, aside from renaming all the folders? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Shawn Wright, I.T.

You can use the old name-mangling scheme by setting : mangling method = hash (the default is hash2). This uses more characters of the original filename at the expense of greater name collision problems.
