[Samba] mac client: folder copy problem

[Anton Starikov]

And although it creates directory, it doesn't copy contents, because it stops process of copying directory after this error. If I repeat filesync, the contents of directory will be copid (cause directory is already here).

So, it looks exactly the same.
If so, then problem in chflags(). 
I expect that samba on linux is compiled without support for chflags, obviously.

I presume that settings "unix extensions = no" would probably fix this, but it has a drawback, because then you loose native unix things like symlinks etc.

Which is, at least in our case is not possible, cause shares accessed by both, mac and linux clients over NFS (the same clients on different hosts) and symlinks are heavily used.

I think, OSX client, when it sees that server supports "unix extensions", expects that on other side is OSX server with samba which supports chflags.

So, if we don't discuss rewrite of OSX cifs FS, then only solution is to "emulate" chflags support on samba side (or convert flags to XFS/ETX3 attrs somehow)
