Hi Scott, does your Samba instance have the "sync always = yes" paramter set in smb.conf? If not Samba will never issues a sync or fsync call and thus not provide any sort of data integrity. Unfortunately this is both the default of the out of the box upstream Samba config and most NAS appliances. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
