Samba shows each file several times in the same folder

  • 772

I have Samba 3.5.11 on Debian/kfreebsd sid. (Also tested with 3.6.1 from experimental)
I have a zfs filesystem Storage/Photos.
If I open one the the folders on there (Storage/Photos/folder1) it shows (on Windows 7, Total Commander):

  • file1.jpg
  • file1.jpg
  • file2.jpg
  • file2.jpg

So I see the same file several times in Total Commander (and Windows Explorer as well).
Sometimes the Thumbs.db comes up 20-30 pieces.
I don't know where to start, what can be the problem?

debian samba windows-7 zfs

  1. Test it with a simpler client first.

    On the Debian box, run

    smbclient //server/share

    Enter credentials and run

    ls /your/directory

    Also examine your logs closely.
