#74 Directory missing/deleted on Samba shares

[H3g3m0n]

Often while browsing samba shares i will get a
"Directory missing/deleted" message and Rox will force
the window to close.

This seems to happen mostly after playing a video over
the samba share although its somewhat random as to if
it will happen somtimes after watching 1 video or
somtimes it wont happen with a whole load, probally
causing samba to become slightly overloaded and not
respond quickly enough.

It might be worth while having Rox check a few more
times befoure giving up or adding a small few ms delay
befoure a final check.

ROX doesn't time-out waiting for directories. It probably
really did get told that the directory didn't exist (in
which case you need to report this to the samba developers).

You can run the filer under strace to see exactly what happens:

$ strace -e file rox -n

Wait until you're about to mouse-over the directory and
press return a few times in the terminal window to separate
the old output from the new, then move the mouse over the
window to get the warning box. What trace output do you see?
