I checked with the developer of NetDrive?, they say this is a feature/issue for the plugin.
My Samba Server has a shared directory \data-share
\data-share has subdirecties
\data-share\data
\data-share\data\bvdata

Using the Netdrive gui,
I can create a resource for \data-share

Share field blank

I can create a resource for \data-share\data

Share field set to DATA

but I cannot create a resource for \data-share\data\bvdata

Share field set to DATA\BVDATA

error code 53

SAMBA in role PDC. Nearby 120 users and up to 50 "guests". In working hours often happen destructions of *.tdb files. The size of files %ETC%\samba\private\passdb.tdb and %ETC%\samba\private\schannel_store.tdb becomes only 4096 byte. In some minutes after restoration from backup a situation repeats. Various utilities inform on damage %ETC%\samba\lock\connections.tdb. In a reality this file appears locked (opened), and one of processes smbd.exe turns to "zombie":

C:\programs\samba>smb stop
Shutting down SMB services:
Failed to open connections database: Permission denied
Can't find pid for destination 'nmbd'
Done.

The WarpIn? installer (​http://msplins06.bon.at/%7Eadmin139/files/samba-1-0-0-4-rc5.wpi) doesn't seem to call pwd_mkdb.exe to initially create pwd.db and spwd.db from master.passwd.

As a result, the initial Samba server configuration GUI dialog doesn't finish correctly complaining with the following messages:

Failed to modify password entry for user root

Failed to modify password entry for user guest

Any attempt to call smbpasswd afterwards gives the same error message.

As a consequence to the above, smbd.exe cannot start (complains about the missing guest account) and Samba looks unusable in general :)
