ZFS vs Samba Debugging Results ... Need Help.

[Timur I. Bakeyev]

Hi, guys!

You could avoid spending time on debugging this issue, if you'd ask
maintainer of the Samba port. Well, somehow it didn't look obvious :)?

This is an old standing problem, came as a workaround for some
assumptions about the opendir/telldir/seekdir behaviour in the POSIX
systems, which made Andrew to write this workaround. Unfortunatelly, it
works only on UFS[2] and breaks the things i ZFS, MSDOSFS, ISOFS,
UNIONFS, UDF - name them all.

I recall an old conversation between PHK and Andrew, when that issue was
discussed, together with the workaround, but, seems can't find in in the
archives.

Anyhow, feel free to add your comments to the:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4715

There are also similar ports/109160, ports/113158 and few others.

Poul, Andrew - can you join this discussion and help us to resort this
problem in the best way for the Samba and FreeBSD projects?

With best regards,
Timur Bakeyev.
