#165 closed defect (fixed)

Timestamp not updated after copying to the OS/2 share

Reported by: dmik Owned by: Silvan Scherrer
Priority: major Milestone: Samba Server for eCS (OS/2) 1.1.x
Component: Samba Server Version: Server 3.3.x

Description

If you copy a bunch of files to the OS/2 share, some files will have their original dates, some files will get the current date.

To me, it looks like the time stamp is not always updated correctly on the server after the copy operation is completed.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Connect to an OS/2 share.
  2. Copy a bunch of files from your local machine to it.
  3. Compare the file timestamps with the originals.

I have use two clients for accessing CIFS/SMB shares in my environment (Linux, MacOS): the regular Samba client and the proprietary Sharity client (which gives much better performance close to the real throughput of the network). The results a bit differ:

  1. When using the Samba client (from Linux or from OS/2), the dates are always wrong (current time).
  2. When using the Sharity client (from Linux), the dates are sometimes OK (50/50).

Note that this happens with Samba 3.0.37-eCS 1.0.5-472 as well.

This issue is still there. Tried the latest Samba 3.3 (1.1.2-3.3.1.6) and my fixed libc064.

Is this still a "Minor" issue? Why is it so hard to fix? Can SAMBA provide a work-around?

i higher the priority, so we will work on that hopefully soon.

Milestone: → Samba Server for eCS (OS/2) 1.2.x

@BlondeGuy Neil if you have a easy to reproduce scenario let us know. this would make it a lot easier.

This happens every time for me. Both machines run eComStation. One has the latest SAMBA client and one has the latest server.

Copying one file to the server will show the bug. Timestamp will be original on the client, but will be the time of the copy on the server.

Milestone: Samba Server for eCS (OS/2) 1.2.x → Samba Server for eCS (OS/2) 1.1.x

according to Yuri it happens also with a XP client. So it's for sure a server bug.

see also #147 there it states it works for 3.0.x

we added a possible fix for that in r790 r791 and r792 a new testversion should be available soon.

This is a Samba 3.3.16 smbd.exe with a possible fix.

comment:12 by Neil Waldhauer, 11 years ago

I installed the possible fix for SAMBA 3.3.16 smbd.exe, and copied the file as outlined above. The fix appears to work here. The timestamp is the same on client and server.
