[Samba] Re: smb_lookup: find //pagefile.sys failed

[Igor Belyi]

This error message is reported by smbfs kernel module, it has nothing to 
do with Samba... Probably, the error code reported in this message can 
give you move information.

I just want to add that pagefile.sys is a special file (swap) under 
Windows which is handled somewhat special and you can get similar error 
message just checking permission on it. I'm not familiar with Fedore, 
but some automatic file managers (like Nautilus) tend to browse files on 
freshly mounted shares. My guess is that some file manager deamon 
attempts to go into this directory for you.

Hope it helps,
Igor
