Hello,
I have a vfat drive being shared with smb and whenever I go to create a new
folder from any of the clients to that shared drive, it gives me a message
that the folder allready exists, but
it still does create a new folder, and then i have to rename "new folder" to
whatever I want, same goes with copying/moving folders, it says the folder
allready exists (when it does not) then asks if i want to overwrite it. It
seems like when you send a request to the SMB mounted vfat drive, it creates
the folder then gets confused / or forgets it created the folder and checks
to see if it exists, and naturally it does (because it just did it) and then
prompts if it needs to be overwritten / or states that it allready exists...
When I try to create a new folder from my Win2K client, Samba replying:
"Unable to create the folder 'New folder (N)'
Cannot create a file when that file already exists."
On shares located on linux native drive for example /share all working OK.
When I create/copy file (not directory) on vfat drive all working OK.
Log file:
