invisible files in samba share mount
807557Apr 14 2006 — edited Apr 17 2006Hi there
Our server got accidentally turned off this morning (don't ask!) and now SAMBA is acting funky.
I can connect to the fileserver via samba from an apple box and I can mount my home directory and access my files, I can also mount the other folder with data in it but I can't access, in fact I can't see any files inside this folder.
On the server if I do ps -ef | grep smbd I get
amandel 1744 648 0 12:40:03 ? 0:00 /opt/samba/sbin/smbd -D
root 648 1 0 11:47:47 ? 0:00 /opt/samba/sbin/smbd -D
jgrinban 1700 648 0 12:29:01 ? 0:04 /opt/samba/sbin/smbd -D
and ps -ef | grep nmbd gives
root 651 650 0 11:47:47 ? 0:00 /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
root 650 1 0 11:47:47 ? 0:02 /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
I've tried stopping and starting these with smbd stop and smbd start etc but it actually makes no difference to the behaviour I am seeing. e.g If I stop the daemons I can still mount my home directory. I've also run smbclient -U and -L localhost and it all comes up fine.
What should I do next ?
Thank you
