[Samba] Folders on Mapped Drives being re-arranged and Deleted.
HI, I have encountered the following problem on my Samba server, Folders are repeatedly being re-arranged (or lost) by the system in heavily used areas. This is happening too regularly to be user error. the following has been observed 1) Files are disappearing when a user attempts to open them 2) A flat hierarchy Folder |Subforlder |Subfolder |Subfolder is being transformed into a nested hierarchy Folder \Subfolder \SubFolder \Subfolder Entire folders are also disappearing. I am running Samba 2,27 as an NT Primary Domain controller. On Mandrake Linux kernel version 2.4.21.0.13 (enterprise) on an Resir File System (on top of Hardware Raid 5) A Nightly corn job backs up the system via RSync. The problem has been increasing in frequence, recently, Even though there have been no configuration changes and the system load has not increased. Kind Regards Konrad.
