As I have got no answers to my question - I'm in a hurry as I introduced a FreeBSD-computer at my workplace and hence need it to work ok, as they then maybe will be using more of them later - I'll rephrase my question wishing for better luck this time :-) Is an MS-DOS-program able make a DOS-system call, to ask the size of a file, which resides on a Samba server? The Samba server is mounted on a FreeBSD file system. If it can't, what will the effects be? A disconnection of the network drive the MS-DOS-computer has set up with use? At least that's what's happening, and I would like to know if any DOS-system call might be responsible for this. I personally think this could be the case, but I'm not sure. Hoping for an answer!

Background ---------- Have set up a Samba server with an MS-DOS client, running DEC PathWorks 5.0. The client boots from a disk just to get it on the net, then it continues booting from my Samba server. Works ok! Error description ----------------- The client has the volume name D: for the connection to the server. There is a program running as a daemon on the client. The daemon receives data that are written as a file to D:. The file can be seen on my FreeBSD box, but when it seems to have been transfered, it says it can not write to D: and then the connection is totally lost to this volume on the MS-DOS client. Running the same thing, with a connection to a WinNT server instead, though works ok. The daemon on the client, when con- nected to WinNT, prints out, for an example: "File transfered: D:\TDIS_in\file.dat, Size: 645.5 kb." My question ----------- Can it be that the MS-DOS-daemon tries to make a DOS system call, asking for the size of the file it just did put on D: (on my FreeBSD computer), and this DOS system call crashes the connection as my filesystem on FreeBSD apparantly is a none DOS file system? I hope anyone can be of some help, and thanks in advance!
