Hi!
 
I have a problem with WinNT/W2K shares mounted on Linux.
Kernel: 2.4.20
Samba: 3.0.0final-1 (Debian Woody)
 
Sequential "ls" returns different results for big directories.
MyLinux:~# ls /mnt/se/TEST/ -R |wc
10370 9934 133272
MyLinux:~# ls /mnt/se/TEST/ -R |wc
10351 9915 133025
MyLinux:~# ls /mnt/se/TEST/ -R |wc
10371 9935 133285
 
 
What can be wrong?
 
Thanks,
Nikolai

Stupid question, maybe, but is something writing to that directory?

No, it seems "ls" sometimes retuns not all files, if directory has more then 1000 (?) entries. For "ls -R" it can be some subdirectory.

Very strange.
 
You could try to redirect the output of ls to a file, and compare the outputs with diff. Maybe you'll see where the difference lies...
