[SLE] samba clients cannot see all files in directory - 10.1
Samba server (3.0.22-11-SUSE-CODE10) installed in SUSE 10.1, clients range from Mandriva 2005, SUSE 10 and Win XP stations. I've got a folder with approx 1900 files in it on the samba server, but the clients can only see files that start with the letters A thru the first few starting with J, approx 780 files or so, approx 3.1Gb. All files beyond the first few letter J's cannot be seen. On the SUSE 10 client where I can get NFS working, that client can see all of the files in the same directory. Is there some variable for samba which controls this behavior? Tried googling and samba.org, but am not even coming close. folders shared on the samba server are located on an external USB drive. smb.conf; [global] workgroup = HOMENETWORK printing = cups printcap name = cups printcap cache time = 750 cups options = raw map to guest = Bad User include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile logon drive = P: add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$ domain logons = No domain master = No netbios name = Thor security = user [homes] comment = Home Directories valid users = %S, %D%w%S browseable = No read only = No inherit acls = Yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/tmp use client driver = Yes guest ok = Yes printable = Yes create mask = 0600 browseable = No [print$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /var/lib/samba/drivers write list = @ntadmin root force group = ntadmin create mask = 0664 directory mask = 0775 [photo-album] comment = Photo Album inherit acls = Yes path = /media/disk/public/Photo-Album/ read only = No [music] comment = mp3s inherit acls = Yes path = /media/disk/public/Music/ read only = No [shared] comment = shared files inherit acls = Yes path = /media/disk/public/Shared/ read only = No [southpark] comment = southpark episodes inherit acls = Yes path = /media/disk/public/Southpark/ read only = No -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com

it would help if I bothered to open up fstab and notice where my mount points are before asking for help here - turns out what I thought was a NFS exported directory was actually a directory on a local hard drive with all of the files. I just haven't got all the files uploaded yet to the new external hardrive. D'oh!

i might be mis-remembering this, but IIRC FAT filesystems can't handle more than 512 files/directory. If my guess is correct, the your clients are seeing the first 512 files. ??? -- ----- stephan@s11n.net http://s11n.net "...pleasure is a grace and is not obedient to the commands of the will." -- Alan W.

Only for the root directory of a drive, I believe... as far as the FAT is concerned, any subdirectory should be treated as just another file, so there is essentially no limit on its size. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq@suse.com
