RE: [Samba] tail -f the missing data:2.2.5, 2.2.19-6.2.16,
Yes - RH7.2 + default 2.4 Kernels seem to solve the problem. So looks like I'll have to reinstall a bunch of machines. Out of curiosity, if you knew what was causing this in the 2.2 Kernel, I'd be interested.

Out of curiosity, if you knew what was causing this in the 2.2 Kernel, I'd be interested. Most likely smb_revalidate_inode and friends. The client doesn't see the size change (I believe tail -f looks for a size change ...) so it doesn't read anything. But when opening for editing the data is checked again and the changes appear. It would be possible to compare the code between kernels and fix it in 2.2 also. /Urban -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] tail -f the missing data:2.2.5, 2.2.19-6.2.16,
Hi, I have a strange problem viewing data in real time. I wonder can anyone help? I run tail -f on a file which is served by a windows 2000 machine. I start a simple program running on windows 2000 which writes numbered lines of text to this file. I notice that tail -f is missing some of the lines. If I edit the file afterwards the data is there it's just that tail seems to miss bits of it when viewing it in real time. [Background] Redhat 6.2 2.2.19-6.2.16 Samba 2.2.5 Windows 2000 [reproduce by] cd /share/mount/point touch sean.txt tail -f sean.txt | tee /tmp/sean-tail.txt start program on windows 2000 I stop the Windows 2000 process. I compare sean.txt and /tmp/sean-tail.txt and they are different. [already tried] upgrading to latest RH kernel and samba stable. handwritten tool to ensure tail was not acting crazy. Can anyone help me with this? I noticed some other reports of problems with tail -f in the archive, but they appear to be a different problem.
