We've got a setup where files are shared from an Ubuntu 14.04 server to Win 7 clients.
We're struggling with an issue moving files around sometimes. It goes something like this:
- Create new sub-folder in share and give it a name
- Attempted to move existing file on the share to the new sub-folder, probably only a few seconds after creating and renaming the new folder
- Caused error "There is a problem accessing [file name].pdf - Make sure you are connected to the network and try again"
- Error box had try again, skip and cancel options. Try again did nothing, skip closed error with no visual change to directory (target file still appeared there).
- Entered newly created sub-folder and the file had in fact moved in successfully. On return to parent directory there was no sign on the target file, i.e. it had moved to the correct place.
Not aware of anyone else accessing the project folder at the time
Summary: moved correctly but with error message.
Anyone know what might cause this or how we could go about troubleshooting this? There doesn't appear to be anything obvious in the samba logs.
Samba Version 4.1.6-Ubuntu
This particular server is set up as a BDC. The domain is samba/ldap all the way (no Windows domain controllers)
