Package: samba Version: 3.0.14a-3 Severity: important
I have a smbfs drive mounted like this: mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=XXX //10.0.3.1/c$ //net/c I do this several times: ls -1 /net/c/WINDOWS/system32 | wc responses from wc (lines, words, bytes): 2111 2113 24550 2111 2113 24550 2106 2108 24496 2111 2113 24550 2107 2109 24501 2112 2114 24559 As you can see, the results from ls are inconsistent. Some files are sometimes missing, but there's no real pattern. In reality there are 2119 files in this directory (DIR /A H c:\WINDOWS\system32 reports 2074 files, 47 directories which includes . and ..). I can reproduce this on several systems without even having to try hard. It works on any directory that is sufficiently large (say >1000 files). There's a bug report and a fix at samba.org which is over 3 months old, that supposedly solves this problem: https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2271 The latest debian version however does not seem to include this fix (I cannot find the patch in the debian sources). This problem makes it very hard to do automated backup/restore operations as the backup over smbfs is often simply incomplete because of the missing entries in the directories. I'll be happy to provide any further information. My config is an almost completely default Debian testing install, and I can also reproduce it on my 2nd Debian box. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-686 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages samba depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.4.30.11 Debian configuration management sy ii libacl1 2.2.23-1 Access control list shared library ii libattr1 2.4.16-1 Extended attribute shared library ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libcomerr2 1.35-6 The Common Error Description libra ii libcupsys2-gnutls10 1.1.23-10 Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - ii libkrb53 1.3.6-1 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libldap2 2.1.30-3 OpenLDAP libraries ii libpam-modules 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules f ii libpam-runtime 0.76-22 Runtime support for the PAM librar ii libpam0g 0.76-22 Pluggable Authentication Modules l ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii logrotate 3.7-2 Log rotation utility ii netbase 4.21 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii samba-common 3.0.14a-3 Samba common files used by both th -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
