[Samba] why xcopy /d doesn't work

2004-04-02 Thread James Boorman
Hi Germano,

I just found your post regarding Samba and xcopy /d switch at 
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-October/000699.html.

This is also driving me mad. I was interested to know if you ever found a 
way around this problem ? It only seems to be a problem for me with 2000 
and XP workstation. 98 works fine.

Regards

James

Curious. I wonder if this is related to problems me and others have been having
when trying to keep linux / windows shares in sync using rsync? In short, we
would try to sync up, and some files that weren't modified would get re-sent,
or even deleted, even when they still existed. The next pass, the deleted files
would get re-sent, and a totally different set of files would be deleted even
though the exist, repeat.

We have not found a resolution, and aren't sure if it's samba, rsync, or both.
Also using samba 3.

Hrm... I assume this isn't a dos filetime resolution time sort of issue?

There are also differences in date semantics between DOS/Windows and POSIX.
 A careful perusal of the smb.conf documentation will clarify the issues
involved.

[Samba] why xcopy /d doesn't work?

2003-10-27 Thread Germano Barreiro
Hi

I'm trying to keep a windows folder synchronized with
a samba share using xcopy /d ,but it keeps copying
again and again a number of files at random that
haven't been modified. With a search over internet, I
found that this is a pretty old problem, because I
managed to find messages from other users that had the
same problem, but unfortunatly no solution.
Even upgrating to samba 3 didn't solve this problem.
But if I use xcopy /m, it works fine.
Could anyone explain why this happens?

Thanks in advance
Germano
