Bug Description
Binary package hint: samba
After upgrade to Lucid the samba clients can't open symlinked directories any more.
The following related options are added to /etc/samba/smb.conf :
follow symlinks = yes
wide symlinks = yes
unix extensions = no
When I try to list this symlinked directory with ls -la /media/samba/, one time it appears:
.....
drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 0 2010-02-05 12:09 sdb7
.....
then if I run ls -la /media/samba/ second time, the output is:
.....
d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sdb7
.....
continuing to list it, with ls -la /media/samba/, the output is the first again (drwxr-xr-x 0 root root 0 2010-02-05 12:09 sdb7), then the second (d????????? ? ? ? ? ? sdb7) ... etc. Like a semaphore. :-)
No way to change to sdb7 directory.
The sdb7 is linked outside the user's home.
ls -la /home/joe/
.....
lrwxrwxrwx 1 joe joe 24 2009-01-18 23:11 sdb7 -> /media/
.....
However there is no problem with directories that linked inside user joe's home.
(Like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 joe joe 35 2008-04-13 21:45 TransGaming_Drive -> /home/joe/
I can change to that 'TransGaming_Drive' directory on mounted samba volume without problem.
