Package: samba
Version: 3.0.14a-3
Severity: important


I have a smbfs drive mounted like this:

mount -t smbfs -o username=Administrator,password=XXX //10.0.3.1/c$
//net/c

I do this several times:

ls -1 /net/c/WINDOWS/system32 | wc

responses from wc (lines, words, bytes):

2111 2113 24550
2111 2113 24550
2106 2108 24496
2111 2113 24550
2107 2109 24501
2112 2114 24559

As you can see, the results from ls are inconsistent.  Some files are
sometimes missing, but there's no real pattern.  In reality there are
2119 files in this directory (DIR /A H c:\WINDOWS\system32 reports 2074
files, 47 directories which includes . and ..).

I can reproduce this on several systems without even having to try hard.
It works on any directory that is sufficiently large (say >1000 files).

There's a bug report and a fix at samba.org which is over 3 months old,
that supposedly solves this problem:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2271

The latest debian version however does not seem to include this fix (I
cannot find the patch in the debian sources).

This problem makes it very hard to do automated backup/restore
operations as the backup over smbfs is often simply incomplete because
of the missing entries in the directories.

I'll be happy to provide any further information.  My config is an
almost completely default Debian testing install, and I can also
reproduce it on my 2nd Debian box.

smbfs is deprecated and will be removed soon upstream.
please migrate your setup to cifs.

"CIFS Userland utilities are provided in the smbfs Debian package so the
switch should be mostly a matter of a few minutes work and manpage reading
(some options might differ)." -samba maintainer
