I never tried to use Samba on a volume-set, but I can understand why you
encounter the behaviour you describe.
In order to be aware of changes (file creations/deletions), Samba uses the
internal locks maintained by the file system (XQP). Because those locks are
not the same for volume sets, it seems normal that you can't see new or
deleted files unless you force Samba to refresh its cache.
Honestly, and because the VMS wizqrd discourages the use of volume sets, I
don't plan to do anything about that.

Hi Tim,
To quote the VMS wizard: http://h71000.www7.hp.com/wizard/wiz_9470.html
" The OpenVMS Wizard generally discourages the current and continued
use of bound-volume sets, and would strongly discourage new uses."
So, perhaps you are only asking for trouble with Samba and bound disks?
Regards,
Mark

Subject: samba share on VMS bound volume set
Hi,
SAMBA/VMS version 2.2.8 running on OVMS 7.2-2
has anyone got any experience of using samba shares on VMS bound volumes
?
i have configured a share on a VMS bound volume set (2 volumes in the
set). Samba works OK but from the windows client side the
'refresh' reacts very strangely.
if i create a new file i have to disconnect/reconnect the share in order
fro the new file to appear. If i then delete this file it remains
visible in the windows explorer until i disconnect/reconnect again.
this behaviour is only seen on the volume which is a bound volume server
side.
any ideas ?
thanks.
