[gentoo-user] files disappearing using samba

[gentoo-user] files disappearing using samba

[covici]

Hi.  I have what seems to me a strange problem using samba.  The version
is 3.5.6.  Now what is happening is that in certain directories if I try
to look at those directories using that other operating system, and I am
coming in as root, all the files are not seen.  I know they are there,
but Samba seems to ignore them -- I can ssh in and get them, but no
Samba.

Anyone seen this and what can I do about it?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

i think i had a similar issue like this one. i setup one of my linux
dictionary as a samba folder, in which i have some files which names
are in Chinese. my problem is some of the files cannot be seen when
connecting to that samba dictionary from linux, bu i can see all of
them if i connect to that folder from windows.

i think the problem is more like a file name encoding issue. but i did
not find a way to solve it either :(

Sounds like directory/files permissions issue...

I come into the samba as root, so it seems unlikely -- and the files
generally have the ownership by the same user.

I trust myself -- validated myself -- so I do this locally.
