Hello, I observed some odd behaviour with a hard disc image I made with g4u (NetBSD based ghost-a-like Live CD). The NTFS file system is mounted read-only in a md device from the file. The mount point has is shared to the network via Samba 3. The strange part is that browsing from a Windows box the directories within the image appear as empty files. From a shell on the system however they seem to be directories. Once a directory has been entered from some means other than Samba (find does the trick) they appear as directories properly when browsing from the Windows system. I have other Samba shares on the system which are not NTFS images and they work as expected. This could be a bug in FreeBSD or Samba, I suppose? I'll file a PR on the issue if this is not already known about, can't find anything in Gnats. Thanks, Dominic
