Subject: [Samba] smb_proc_readdir_long - ls not showing files
Hello,
We are getting a baffling problem with a samba mounted drive
on Redhat, mounted
from a windows box. We cannot always see files in the
mounted directory with ls
or perl. The directory has 237 files in it. We sometimes
see 197 files with
ls. Sometimes we see nothing. This can happen from one try
to the next (i.e.
run ls, see the files, immediately run ls again and see
nothing). We have
searched the web, and searched the samba lists, but have not
found an answer
(although we have found postings about the same problem). We
have tried adding
a new file to the windows directory - then we can see the
files! But delete the
file in windows and suddenly we cannot see anything in the
linux mount. We have
found files that can break it as well, i.e., add the file in
windows and you
suddenly see no files at all in the linux mount. But it is
not a specific file,
since the same file with a different name will not cause a
problem, or if you
load the files in a different order the behavior can change as well.
The directory contains files with very long names, such as:
"Bullying and Harassment- Fostering dignity at work and
managing complaints.doc"
We are running Redhat Linux 9, and Redhat Enterprise Linux 3.
We have the same
problem on both systems, and in fact one of our colleagues
observes the same
problem on Suse 9.3 (with the 2.6 kernel). The windows box
is running Windows
2003 Server. Our samba is version 3.0.14a.
dmesg output when we have the problem:
smb_proc_readdir_long: name=, result=-2, rcls=1, err=123
samba mount command:
mount -t smbfs -o
username=user,password=xxxx,gid=501,dmask=775,workgroup=internal
//windowsserver/doc /mnt/doc
This problem has broken an important perl script for us.
Hopefully someone on
the list can provide the answer, or point us to the place to
get the answer.
Thanks,
Paul
Hi again,
I posted this email (above) a few days ago, and haven't received a reply. I'm
not sure if it went through properly to the list or not, so I'm resending it.
If no one really has an idea or an answer - should I post this as a samba bug?
Thanks,
Paul
Hi,
Reply quoted rom a previous post about smbfs:
"Oops. This is a General Motors dealership, we do not do Ford warranty work."
With that said, smbfs is a Linux kernel driver that is not part of Samba.
smbfs has been superceded by cifsfs in the 2.6 kernel. Suggest you update and
if you still have trouble contact with the cifsfs developers. You might also
check the CIFSFS Home page at:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html
I don't personally use smbfs mounted drives. But I have this in my archives.
Regards, Doug
