I found out this bizarre problem also occurs when I mount the share from
another Linux system, so it does not appear to be related to Windows.

To recap: one of my Samba shares suddenly mysteriously hides all
existing files, while still working completely normally with any newly
created files.

The shared directory (/mnt/data/multimedia) looks like this:

drwxrwxrwx 11 pepijn pepijn 4096 2008-05-17 14:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-05-16 19:58 ..

drwxr-xr-x 4 pepijn pepijn 4096 2007-12-07 22:15 XXX

When I mount the share on another Linux system using mount -t cifs, the
contents look like this:

drwxrwxrwx 11 500 500 0 2008-05-17 14:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-05-17 14:06 ..
-rwxr--r-- 1 500 500 6 2008-05-17 14:08 test.txt

The test.txt is a file I created since this problem started and as you
can see it's the only one visible. I can change its contents on the file
server and see the changes on the client. I can manipulate the file on
the client, even create new files, it all works perfectly. But I can't
see any of the existing files or directories. It's utterly bizarre to me.

I tried using smbclient, and it displays the same behaviour, so it
really looks like the problem is on the server side. I tried "touch"ing
the existing directories but that made no difference either.

Does anyone know what might cause this strange behaviour?

Kind regards,

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm still at a loss and so it seems
is everyone else... :-)

In short: on one of my existing Samba 3.0 shares (Linux server, ext3
filesystem) all existing files have suddenly become invisible, but it is
still possible to create, modify and delete new files (and I see no
differences between these new files and the existing ones). This happens
with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux CIFS and Linux smclient clients,
so it is likely to be a server problem. I'm stuck and I'm hoping a
bright mind from this list will be able to help!

What parameters are set on the share? Anything like map system, map
hidden? Are you using ACL's? What about giving us an ls -l of a
directory that isn't showing files. Is it just files or does it happen to
folders too.

This is the share definition:

[multimedia]
comment = Multimedia Files
path = /mnt/data/multimedia
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = pepijn

So no map system or map hidden. I should also note that neither the
share definition nor the contents of the directory have changed. The
only thing that happened was that the server, which used to be my router
and firewall also, is now only a file server and no longer has a static
IP address.

I don't think so. How can I tell?

When I mount the share on another Linux system using this command:

sudo mount -t cifs -o user=pepijn //10.0.0.163/multimedia roadrunner/

And then perform an ls -al in the roadrunner directory the output is as
follows:

As you can see it only show the two test files I created since this

Let's see if it's permissions(which is what I think it is). chmod 777 *
in that directory and then see if it works. Then we can figure out what
went on. The uid of 500 of the new file seems strange.

This is the share definition:

path = /mnt/data/multimedia
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = pepijn

So no map system or map hidden. I should also note that neither the share
definition nor the contents of the directory have changed. The only thing
that happened was that the server, which used to be my router and firewall
also, is now only a file server and no longer has a static IP address.

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm still at a loss and so it seems
is everyone else... :-)

In short: on one of my existing Samba 3.0 shares (Linux server, ext3
filesystem) all existing files have suddenly become invisible, but it is
still possible to create, modify and delete new files (and I see no
differences between these new files and the existing ones). This happens
with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux CIFS and Linux smclient clients,
so it is likely to be a server problem. I'm stuck and I'm hoping a
bright mind from this list will be able to help!

His directory is already 777 and the 500 is the UID of pepijn on the
serve unless I miss my guess. I also had him check all permissions on
the directories above it to make sure they were at least 755 and they
were.
BTW Pepijn, you might want o make sure that your userid is the same on
all of your linux boxes.. just check /etc/passwd to make sure username
Pepijn is userid 500, then on any system you have to change it, I
recommend running (as root) 'find / -user -exec chown 500 {}
\;'
This may or may not have any affect on this problem. also check the
usermapping, maybe there is something there.

His directory is already 777 and the 500 is the UID of pepijn on the
serve unless I miss my guess. I also had him check all permissions on
the directories above it to make sure they were at least 755 and they
were.
BTW Pepijn, you might want o make sure that your userid is the same on
all of your linux boxes.. just check /etc/passwd to make sure username
Pepijn is userid 500, then on any system you have to change it, I
recommend running (as root) 'find / -user -exec chown 500 {}
\;'
This may or may not have any affect on this problem. also check the
usermapping, maybe there is something there.

Let's see if it's permissions(which is what I think it is). chmod 777 *
in that directory and then see if it works. Then we can figure out what
went on. The uid of 500 of the new file seems strange.

This is the share definition:

[multimedia]
comment = Multimedia Files
path = /mnt/data/multimedia
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
write list = pepijn

So no map system or map hidden. I should also note that neither the
share
definition nor the contents of the directory have changed. The only
thing
that happened was that the server, which used to be my router and
firewall
also, is now only a file server and no longer has a static IP address.



Are you using ACL's?

I don't think so. How can I tell?



What about giving us an ls -l of a

As you can see it only show the two test files I created since this

Is it just files or does it happen to

It happens with both.

*Bump*

Does this ring a bell with anyone? I'm still at a loss and so it seems
is everyone else... :-)

In short: on one of my existing Samba 3.0 shares (Linux server, ext3
filesystem) all existing files have suddenly become invisible, but it is

still possible to create, modify and delete new files (and I see no
differences between these new files and the existing ones). This happens

with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Linux CIFS and Linux smclient clients,
so it is likely to be a server problem. I'm stuck and I'm hoping a
bright mind from this list will be able to help!

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

To recap: one of my Samba shares suddenly mysteriously hides all
existing files, while still working completely normally with any newly
created files.

The shared directory (/mnt/data/multimedia) looks like this:

drwxrwxrwx 11 pepijn pepijn 4096 2008-05-17 14:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2008-05-16 19:58 ..

drwxr-xr-x 4 pepijn pepijn 4096 2007-12-07 22:15 XXX

When I mount the share on another Linux system using mount -t cifs,
the contents look like this:

drwxrwxrwx 11 500 500 0 2008-05-17 14:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2008-05-17 14:06 ..
-rwxr--r-- 1 500 500 6 2008-05-17 14:08 test.txt

The test.txt is a file I created since this problem started and as you
can see it's the only one visible. I can change its contents on the
file server and see the changes on the client. I can manipulate the
file on the client, even create new files, it all works perfectly. But
I can't see any of the existing files or directories. It's utterly
bizarre to me.

I tried using smbclient, and it displays the same behaviour, so it
really looks like the problem is on the server side. I tried
"touch"ing the existing directories but that made no difference either.

Does anyone know what might cause this strange behaviour?

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

I am suddenly no longer able to see any existing files on one of my

I have a Linux server (Fedora Core 8) which used to be my firewall and

it I have mounted on various Windows clients: my home directory and a
multimedia directory with my music and videos, etc. I mount the former
as H: on all my Windows machines and the latter as M:.

Recently I installed a new server to be router and firewall. I kept the
existing server as file server though, only it now no longer has a


fixed


IP address, and it is no longer configured to be be the master browser.

Since this change, my Windows clients no longer see the existing files
on the multimedia share! Some strange features of the problem are:

* It occurs on my Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit machine, as well as
on my Windows XP SP2 machine, in exactly the same way.
* My home directory share doesn't have the problem, I can still see all
the existing files there.
* There are no errors connecting to the share from the Windows side,


nor


do I see strange things in the logs on the file server.
* I can still create new files on the share from Windows! The new file
will show up locally on the file server (as verified by logging in with
SSH and checking the shared directory), and my other Windows client


will


see the new file as well.
* I can also create new files locally on the file server, and these


will


also show up on the Windows clients.
* I can see no difference between the existing files and any new files
created locally or through a Windows client. The file permissions are

Unless I missed it there was no further discussion of ACLs?

Run mount on the linux box and look to see if that filesystem is mounted
with the acl option. If it was, you can either remountit without ACLs
or reset the ACLs on the filesystem.

Run getfacl on the directory and see if there's anything out of bounds
there; that's quite frankly the only thing I can think of that would
cause this behaviour. Disappearing files have *always* been due to a
mismatch between Samba permissions and those set by the underlying
filesystem in my experience (10+ years of Samba and counting). Not to
say that it's impossible you've found something new and different, but
statistics say it's very likely a permissions/ acl issue.

I tried getfacl on both the share directory and the files within it, but
it showed only the regular UNIX permissions, no access control lists.
Nevertheless I tried mounting the filesystem that contains
/mnt/data/multimedia with noacl, but it made no difference...

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

The "Permission denied"s correspond exactly to the files and directories
that are missing. As you can see, it somehow can't stat (whatever that
is) the existing files, but it can the new files. Which is bizarre,
since their permissions are the same. We need a real Samba internals
guru. What exactly is it trying to stat, and how is it possible for that
to succeed for some files but fail for others while having the same
permissions?

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

Remove any restrictions on the shares. Like valid user and that sort of
thing.

The "Permission denied"s correspond exactly to the files and directories
that are missing. As you can see, it somehow can't stat (whatever that
is) the existing files, but it can the new files. Which is bizarre,
since their permissions are the same. We need a real Samba internals
guru. What exactly is it trying to stat, and how is it possible for that
to succeed for some files but fail for others while having the same
permissions?

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the

I got it. SELinux was causing the problem. Grmbl... I don't know why I
didn't think to check before, but I took a look in my syslog and saw
entries like these:

May 21 16:21:29 roadrunner kernel: audit(1211379689.340:4629): avc:

scontext=system_u:system_r:smbd_t:s0 tcontext=user_ubject_r:file_t:s0
tclass=dir

I did a ls -Z on /mnt/data/multimedia with the following result:

The existing files have a different security context (file_t) than the
new ones (samba_share_t). I have no idea how or why this has happened,
and frankly I don't feel like spending any more time to find out
(although I'm still interested if someone knows more about how this
could happen). Since the server is now just an internal file server I
decided just to turn off SELinux. Now the share works perfectly again!

Thanks everyone for your time and patience!

Kind regards,
Pepijn Schmitz

Glad to hear it! Damn SELinux *grumble*.

I shoulda thought of that too
