[Bug 738968] Re: Can't See Parts of DFS CIFS Share

[Julian Alarcon]

Hi

I have the same problem but I'm on Ubuntu 14.04, our DFS is on Windows
2008 R2. Do you still have this problem like me?

Title:
  Can't See Parts of DFS CIFS Share

Status in Samba:
  Fix Released
Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  When connecting to a DFS share using Nautilus on Ubuntu 10.04, I can
  only see part of the directory tree. Take the example of a share with
  a DFS root at X, and sub directories A, B, and C all on different
  servers. I can connect to X, and see A, B, and C, but directories A,
  B, and C are all shown as empty. If I directly connect to X/A, then I
  can see the files and directories in and below A.

  Using smbclient directly from the command line gives the same
  behaviour.

  I found this from several years ago: http://lists.samba.org/archive
  /samba-technical/2007-April/052725.html. It seems to exactly describe
  my issue, and suggests that it's because when you cross to another
  server in the DFS hierarchy, smbclient re-authenticates (as it's
  supposed to) but with the wrong credentials.

  I can't find any responses to the above post.
