At my company, we use still a Linux box running SAMBA and some customers do see the same behaviour. Recently created files or directories do show up only after a refresh on the windows box, so also deletions do. SAMBA on the Linux (Ubuntu) box seems to be 3.24 or something, it is not the most recent version and I suspected a caching/time problem. Within the next days I'll come up with a new fileserver box running the most recent FreeBSD 7.0 and the most recent SAMBA port with a ZFS mirror, so I will report more FreeBSD related, if there is anything unusual. > > Of course, everything looks normal on the FreeBSD ZFS side, so I'm > inclined to point the finger at samba doing something weird with ZFS. > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" Regards, Oliver
