Ive been suffering from a problem that comes into the default samba provided by debian etch 4.0 stable. When there are file/dir modifications on shared folders, the results do not appear on the windows client inmediately. My configuration is the most basic possible, straight out of this howto http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_samba_standalone_server_with_tdbsam_backend a small chat on irc reveals some details, I am irule in there, and according to epsilon, I am not alone. any thoughts, please help, thanks <epsilon> I have samba 3.0.24 (debian stable) running, but changes n filesystem (new dir or new filename) get displayed in Explorer after I refresh, and not immediatly <epsilon> what can be the reason? I already tried 'refresh = 1' in smb.conf and restarted, but no change <||cw> epsilon: default is 60 seconds i think <epsilon> ||cw: I have the almost same config (except path and username) on another box, it's running fine and changes get displayed immediatly... <epsilon> can't locate why this one box is behaving different with same binary... <||cw> check logs? maybe a lib is missing? irule> I have the same problem as epsilon, windows clients can not get the forlders upgraded on the fly when a file or directory is uploaded, deleted or anything else, I can only press [F5] key on clients to refresh folder view and my configuration is exactly this one http://www.howtoforge.com/debian_etch_samba_standalone_server_with_tdbsam_backend <epsilon> irule: have you been able to fix this issue? <irule> epsilon nope, and I have 50+ users braking my back for it lol <epsilon> irule: strange is, I have as basic conf as yours on one box which has no problem with refresh... <epsilon> everything same (OS, conf) expect username/path <irule> epsilon I know, Im asking the mailing list tho, this samba copy is being installed on too many servers to just ignore the issue <epsilon> yea, I found few posts in mailinglists with same issue, but none had any reply...
Different The Shared Name And The Folder Name I do have same problem before. I did change the [Shared Name] to different name (not as path = Shared Name). I am refer to http://www.pitr.net/index.php/2006/11/28/sambawindows-problem-content-of-folder-does-not-refresh/#comment-462 Its work. Thanks a lot to lpaulica
