Hello, 

I'm testing Ed Plese's Samba patches. As far as I understood his comments on 
http://www.edplese.com/samba-with-zfs.html I should see a "previous version" 
tab in the Windows explorer (explained on: 
http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_use_the_shadow_copy_client.htm) on my 
Samba/ZFS-share. But actually I don't have a previous version tab :(

Samba is working, I can connect from my Windows to my samba share and even 
browse in the .zfs/snapshot directory.

Here's my smb.conf:

 cat /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf 
[global]
workgroup = sambatest
security = user

[sambatest]
comment = samba_with_shadowcopies testing area
path = /export/sambatest
read only = no
vfs objects = shadow_copy
shadow_copy: sort = desc
shadow_copy: path = /export/sambatest/renny/.zfs/snapshot
shadow_copy: format = $Y.$m.$d-$H.$M.$S
shadow_copy: sort = desc

Here's how the /export/sambatest/renny/.zfs/snaphot directtory looks like:

ls -lhart /export/sambatest/renny/.zfs/snapshot
total 18
drwxr-xr-x   2 root     sys            2 Jun 30 12:07 GMT-2008.06.30-10.08.56
dr-xr-xr-x   3 root     root           3 Jun 30 12:07 ..
dr-xr-xr-x   8 root     root           8 Jun 30 12:07 .
drwxr-xr-x   2 renny    staff          3 Jun 30 12:31 GMT-2008.06.30-10.32.26
drwxr-xr-x   3 renny    staff          5 Jun 30 14:36 GMT-2008.06.30-12.40.03
drwxr-xr-x   3 renny    staff          5 Jun 30 14:36 GMT-2008.06.30-12.39.01
drwxr-xr-x   3 renny    staff          6 Jul  2 10:58 GMT-2008.07.13-18.21.24
drwxr-xr-x   3 renny    staff          6 Jul  2 10:58 GMT-2008.07.13-18.19.00

So, I have a sambauser named renny and I can connect from Windows to the share, 
can brows in the snapshot directory, but I don't have a "previous version" tab 
in my Window explorer. I've tried it with Windows XP Home and Pro and even with 
the ShadowCopyClient from Microsoft (you can get it from here: 
http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/9/d/49d18272-7622-42f7-85a5-7b01609e8d64/ShadowCopyClient.msi).
 So it works "basically" but with the tab it would be perfect ;)

Does anyone have an idea how I get this tab if possibly anyway...


Greetings, 

René
