Acctually i did a clean new-installation,
but i was testing for serveral weeks now,
and now i did a downgrade and everything works again...
i dont even exactly know how to describe whats going wrong..
just timshifting does not work...

my config has no special tings in it..:
no users , no rights, just a fileserver....
this config works with 3.6 and samba 4 but only with 3.6 i can read 
unfinished files to the end...
