16.2.1 MSDFS UNIX Path Is Case-CriticalA network administrator sent advice to the Samba mailing list after a long sessions trying to determine why DFS was not working. His advice is worth noting. " I spent some time trying to figure out why my particular dfs root wasn't working. I noted in the documenation that the symlink should be in all lowercase. It should be amended that the entire path to the symlink should all be in lowercase as well. " For example, I had a share defined as such: [pub] path = /export/home/Shares/public_share msdfs root = yes and I could not make my Windows 9x/Me (with the dfs client installed) follow this symlink: damage1 -> msdfs:damage\test-share Running a debug level of 10 reveals: [2003/08/20 11:40:33, 5] msdfs/msdfs.c:is_msdfs_link(176) is_msdfs_link: /export/home/shares/public_share/* does not exist. Curious. So I changed the directory name from .../Shares/... to .../shares/... (along with my service definition) and it worked! |
