It only appears to be a problem

When I
try with a windows share or a linux share I don't seem to have the
problem.
The problem that I'm seeing is that the inode value isn't unique
when
listing a directory (or using any program that uses the inode
value).
Do I understand you right that this only happens for
directories? The
normal file inodes are looking ok?
No, it also happens for files too.

The output of both tests might be helpful.
Output is attached.
Well, the volume information looks exactly as usual for a remote Samba
drive.
The problem is, that your Samba version apparently screws up the inode
information and we have re-enabled using the inode numbers sent from
remote file systems which are supposed to be capable of that. For
this
we use the HAS_PERSISTENT_ACLS property.
What Samba version is your Mac OS X using? I'm using 3.0.20a for
which
the inode information is useable. Is Samba a part of the OS
packages or
did you install it from an external source? Is it a rather old one?
Can you upgrade? The problem is that there's no way for us to
distinguish
between a newer and an older version of Samba. I would rather not
lose
the inode information when available.
I'm using mac os x 10.4.3 which is using samba version 3.0.10. So
it's not that old. However, I did find one reference that implied
that mac did something funny for acl's.
I'm going to try install a non-apple version of samba and see what
happens.
