Background info:

  • Running Samba version 3.6.9
  • Successfully authenticating shares with Active Directory (user/file permissions)
  • Able to successfully connect to shares - no issues at all.

So, basically, Samba is working like a champ. One issue that we're seeing on Windows 7 systems is that folder sizes show as 0 bytes when you look at the properties when using Windows 7. Files show their sizes, but folders do not. I found this posting already, https://serverfault.com/questions/580830/samba-folder-properties-incorrectly-shows-0-bytes-and-0-files-in-windows-7, but it does not address the same issue we are experiencing. To add, on a Windows 2003 system we can see folder sizes so it appears to be related to Windows 7.

Curious if anyone else has encountered this and found a fix? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

I fixed the issue but forgot to come back here and update what I did. In smb.conf I set the following parameters:

server signing = auto
client signing = auto

That fixed the issue!
