OK, can you be a little more precise about the circumstances under which the problems occur? Does it occur once you have more than a certain number of dicectories, or more than a certain number of files in each of them? Also, what does your smb.conf file look like? Do you have things like hide unreadable set? Regards - Richard Sharpe, rsharpe[at]ns.aus.com, rsharpe[at]samba.org, sharpe[at]ethereal.com, http://www.richardsharpe.com

I failed to mention that I have 10 directories of which 9 are ok. It's just the one directory playing up. As I mentioned, I discovered that a file called 'cmd' or with a leading period will cause erratic behaviour but that is not the case here. -Original Message- From: Richard Sharpe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 7 February 2003 12:10 PM To: Greg Norris Cc: Samba Technical (E-mail) Subject: Re: Dir with 900+ files look Empty - 2nd post On Fri, 7 Feb 2003, Greg Norris wrote: WARNING: I had to reformat the mail message to make it reasonable.

Well, on a 2.2.3-based appliance, I just created 10,000 files and they all showed up in Win2K.

Dir with 900+ files look Empty - 2nd post
Title: Dir with 900+ files look Empty - 2nd post I am running Samba on Linux RedHat 7.3. It is OK most of the time. We use it for our ViewCvs viewer. Problem is when there are files called cmd (god knows who created that one) and others with dot prefix the directory does silly things. With the cmd file it displayed duplicate versions. First I though it was ViewCvs but then when I checked the directory in the samba link there they were.. Wella fter removing the cmd file all was well - until lately when now we get an empty directory - only trouble is that I know I have 922 files in it. is there a magic number that stops samba from displaying files? Yes I am talking about cvs repository files. They are all there in win2K (thank god). Any help greatly appreciated. cvs will appreciate it too as if I can't get this bug out the corp. will terminate the cvs trial.
