Hi Guys
I am writing, hoping you could help me with this.
As the subject states, I have a Samba (3.4.7) server. On it I have
created 2 shares one that I access the files directly and the other
share I access the same files via clamfs (1.0.1).
Then I connect a Windows 7 machine to it. With offline files disabled,
I have no problems, however with offline files enabled I am getting a
lot of .tmp files when editing office files via the clamfs share.
I have done some reading and as far as I can tell this happens on the
save operation:
1. File gets saved as .tmp
2. Old file gets deleted
3. tmp file gets renamed to old file
The problem is that step 3 never happens when working on the clamfs share.
I have tried this article
http://www.pcbg.co.za/threads/13075-Windows-7-Sync-Center-s-offline-file-sync-SAMBA,
but no luck.
I have also tried adding tmp to clamfs's whitelist, no change though.
I can try getting some logs, but what verbosity level?
Let me know where I can shine my flashlight and give you more details.
Regards
Ian
