Hello,

Hopefully a quick and easy permissions problem here, but I'm stumped and 
quickly reached the end of my Unix knowledge.

I have a ZFS filesystem called "fs/itunes" on pool "zp". In it, the "iTunes 
music" folder contained a load of other folders - one for each artist.

During a resilver operation which was going to take a week, I decided to delete this data 
(amongst other things) and restore it from backup once the resilver was complete. It 
finished on Sunday night, so I started copying content from my Windows machine + an NTFS 
external disk, to "/zp/fs/itunes/iTunes music", using winscp.

Now, if I browse to that folder over SMB from the Windows machine, I have a subset of all of the 
artist names, and I can't identify exactly why some are there and others aren't. I'm accessing it 
using the "sharesmb=on" option, and user "chris".

So:
*  "\\mammoth\itunes\iTunes music" contains *some* folders.
*  If I winscp using user "chris" and browse to the same folder, everything is 
there.
*  Inspecting the properties on a folder that is visible, I see that it has group "staff", owner 
"chris", and permissions "0777".
*  A one that is visible in winscp but NOT through Windows has the same ... ?!

I'm not sure what I've done here, but clearly there's something I don't understand about 
permissions. If I try to create one of the missing folders through Windows, I'm told 
"Cannot rename New Folder: A file with the name you specified already exists. 
Specify a different file name.", so they appear to be hidden from view in some way.

Thanks in advance,
Chris

This is better asked on cifs-disc...@opensolaris.org
