As described in bug #101770 people have empty directories on their shares. Even if I mount the share locally (on the same machine), I have some (not all) empty subdirectories. Logs follow.
Created attachment 78708 [details] Output of `testparm -v -s` from Christian Faulhammer I will test with Samba 3.0.20
Same problems with Samba 3.0.20
3.0.21b is out. Please try it, and if the problem persists: 1) 'emerge info' on the server 2) what is the os on the client? 3) server directory layout 4) mount options (if client is *nix) 5) mounted dirs layout

smbmount uses smbfs. smbfs is not samba Is it possible you have a >2GB issue? smbfs has real problems with files and or shares >2GB, directories will appear empty, etc. also, Win98 has similar issues Try mounting with a current version of cifs (instead of smbfs) and test with a modern Windows version as well. Your issues may not be Samba related at all.
Thanks for the clarification. Ok, I added CIFS to my kernel, removed SMB, compiled and rebooted. $ mount.cifs //192.168.1.123/Musik /mnt/samba --verbose mount.cifs kernel mount options unc=//192.168.1.123\Musik,ip=192.168.1.123,user=fauli,pass=,ver=1 $ mount //192.168.1.123/Musik on /mnt/samba type cifs (rw,mand,nosuid,nodev,user=fauli) Still, the same problems. Also the share on the Windows box (WinXP, all patches and SPs) shows no change. Still Samba 3.0.21b.
What kernel/version of cifs? Normal syntax is to use "mount -t cifs ...." instead of calling mount.cifs directly. On the problem directories, check for name problems, might be some character issues. Check for permissions issues at the file level as well. Also note that "." dot files are hidden by default. Try the default "security = user" mode instead of "security = share". The smb.conf man page says: "Note that it can be very confusing in share-level security as to which UNIX username will eventually be used in granting access." Send me all of your files on DVD(s) and I will try to recreate :)
No name problems, kernel 2.6.15.1 (latest stable gentoo-sources), but I solved the problem by switching to security = user (all files and directories have the same permissions, same uids and gids), so I don't know why it failed in share mode. Ok, thanks for the kind help. If you still need the files for debugging needs, drop me a mail, maybe the list of the files can help you...:)
