I like it to use Linux for many things (e.g. programming), but i also need Windows many times. So i have a virtual Ubuntu and a native Window. To share data i have installed samba on Linux (Ubuntu) and i always open this share on Windows.
But now i always see the wrong content? On Linux the target directory contains many subdirectories and files, but on windows i only see two subdirectories.
If i mount the share on the Linux machine itself i can see the full content. First i thought Windows uses some cache magic, so i disabled caching: https://bogner.sh/2014/10/how-to-disable-smb-client-side-caching/
Unfortunately this did not help. I also saw that if a stop samba on Linux with "sudo service smbd stop" i no longer can open the share on Windows. If i start samba i can connect, but i only can see the two directories.
I am able to create files on Windows in this share, but there are not shown on the Linux, so the files are not really created?!
I have absolutely no idea whats happening, but it is very hard to work for me now, so i hope there is a solution for my problem which does not end with reinstalling my Windows.
I use samba 4, Ubuntu and Windows 8.1.
Thank you very much
Best regards
Kevin
