Samba: No Such File or Directory ? Strange Problem..

Hello,
I'm using Arch Linux for a while and liked it so much.. I was using Debian GNU/Linux before this distro.. Any way; I have a /pub directory which is a partition on my hd.. It's always mounted to the system and I'm always using it..
I've configured Samba to share my music let's say.. Here's my conf file:
[01:54] (tunix@penguix ~)$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# penguix Samba Configuration File
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = TUNIX
server string = Arch Linux
security = share
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
hide unreadable = yes
hide dot files = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 5
log level = 0
encrypt passwords = yes
guest account = nobody
[Muzik]
comment = Muzik
path = /pub/Muzik
guest ok = yes
force user = nobody
read only = yes
writable = no
browsable = yes
I can see other computers on the network.. Other computers can see my computer and access on it.. But whenever they want to access to the directory Muzik, it says there's no such file or directory.. But the directory exists:
[01:54] (tunix@penguix ~)$ ls -l /pub/Muzik/
toplam 128
drwxr-xr-x 32 tunix users 65536 2006-05-08 01:42 Yabanci
drwxr-xr-x 30 tunix users 65536 2006-05-23 01:05 Yerli
I've looked in the log files and it says something like these:
[2006/05/11 03:03:56, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(846)
10.0.0.212 (10.0.0.212) couldn't find service muzIk

Any body have an idea here what this problem is about ?
Thanks a lot..!

Actually the problem is with the nobody account I guess... This is my new smb.conf file:
[global]
netbios name = TUNIX
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = Arch Linux
hosts allow = 10.0.
security = share
encrypt passwords = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
hide unreadable = yes
hide dot files = yes
guest account = nobody
[Muzik]
comment = muzik
path = /pub/Muzik
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
browseable = yes
[emule]
path = /emule/
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
read only = yes
emule works fine but when somebody tries to enter Muzik directory there's the problem.. The difference between them is, emule is on an ext3 partition and Muzik on a fat32 partition...
I'm trying different things almost 3 hours and found nothing.. I've done lots of Google research and again found nothing useable.. Please help me, I'm really stuck here...

Newbie problem - enlightenment: No such file or directory

Hi, I'm new in Archlinux and I've found a ridiculous problem after install enlightenment.
I have put:
exec /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start
on ~/.xinitrc, but drops the error:
-bash: /opt/e17/bin/enlightenment_start: No such file or directory
but the file IS there!! I can see it in the directory, and I can tab the command, but bash don't found it...
I tryed others binaries in the directory and works, but only the *-config, the others don't work, no one.
Please, anyone know why can happen this?? I'm getting mad trying to find a solution...
PD.: Sorry for my poor english ^_^

Sorry for the mistake

I think the permissions are right, I tryed with root but doesn't work.

(solved)screen problem "reopen fifo blabla: no such file or directory"

i cant start screen. it just says "reopen fifo /tmp/screens/S-ramoneur/<random number>.pts-1.arch: no such file or directory"
ive searched google but cant find anything.
ive looked and the folder is there, the permissions is right, and yes i have free space on my /tmp.
i remember having a similiar problem to this before, and solved it just by doing screen -wipe. that doesnt work now.
it seems screen just cant create the file "/tmp/screens/S-ramoneur/<random number>.pts-1.arch" which is weird.
screen has worked perfectly before and i have a fully functioning config which ive used a long time.
anyone know whats wrong?

Could you check the note 252217.1 on metalink?

Find: stat() error /proc/26354: No such file or directory

Dear everyone,
I am using Solaris 10u8 on 02 Sun Fire X4240 servers. I also installed Sun Cluster 3.2u3 and Oracle RAC 10gR2 for these 2 servers.
When I tried to execute the find command, I receive the result I need. However, in the end of the output, I saw additional lines:
+# find / -name * log -print | grep samba+
+/var/svc/log/network-samba:default.log+
+/var/samba/log+
+/etc/svc/volatile/network-samba:default.log+
+{color:#ff0000}find: stat() error /proc/26354: No such file or directory{color}+
I also tried with less complex syntax but got the same result, for example:
+# find / -name samba+
+/var/spool/samba+
+/var/samba+
+/usr/sfw/lib/webmin/caldera/samba+

+find: stat() error /proc/24345: No such file or directory{color}+
I don't know why these unormal outputs appeared. Does anyone know what the problem is here ?
Any advice from you is appreciated. Thanks for your help and please help me in this case.
Thanks.

/proc is a virtual filesystem reperesenting running processes.
By doing a a find from / your allowing find to pass though /proc.
Those errors indicate processes that exited while the find was running. So the files suddenly disappeared.
The errors are harmless. But if possible, try not to allow find to scan /proc.

TS2570 Still cant access my computer, followed instructions to perform a safe boot and last line of script it shows: BootCacheControl: Unable to open /Var/db/BootCache.playlist:2 No such file or directory. Any idea?

Attempted to repeat the same operation with another external HD, but got a message saying there was not enough epace on the computer HD (even though I have a 750Gb Hard Drive.
Looked in the trash bin and there it was, all the information previously deleted..
Could not empty the trash bin, although I got a message asking me to safely delete all the information from the trash bin,
Could not get enough space released, after several attpempts the trash bin was finally emptied.
All happy getting acquainted with my new MacBook Pro. Two days later, got a gray screen and not able to start the computer.
Looking in to Mac support I found article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 and followed instructions to perform a safe boot:
"Perform a Safe Boot
Simply performing the Safe Boot may resolve this issue.
Shut down your Mac. If necessary, hold your Mac's power button for several seconds to force it to power down.
Start your Mac, then immediately hold the Shift key. This performs a Safe Boot. Advanced tip: If you want to
see the status of a Safe Boot as it progresses, you can hold Shift-Command-V during start up (instead of just Shift).
Note: A Safe Boot takes longer than a typical start up because it includes a disk check and other operations.
The following is the script that appears on the screen upon safe boot. and halt after the last line.

Getting `No such file or directory` error while trying to open bdb database

I have four multi-threaded processes (2 writer and 2 reader processes), which make use of Berkeley DB transactional data store. I have multiple environments and the associated database files and log files are located in separate directories (please refer to the DB_CONFIG below). When all these four processes start to perform open and close of databases in the environments very quickly, one of the reader process is throwing a No such file or directory error even though the file actually exists.
I am making use of Berkeley DB 4.7.25 for testing out these applications.
The four application names are as follows:
Writer 1
Writer 2
Reader 1
Reader 2
The application description is as follows:
‘*Writer 1*’ owns 8 environments and each environment having 123 Berkeley databases created using HASH access method. At any point of time, ‘*Writer 1*’ will be acting on 24 database files across 8 environments (3 database files per environment) for carrying out write operation. Where as reader process will be accessing all 123 database files / per environment (Total = 123 * 8 environments = 984 database files) for read activities. Similar configuration for Writer 2 as well – 8 separate environments and so on.
Writer 1, Reader 1 and Reader 2 processes share the environments created by Writer 1
Writer 2 and Reader 2 processes share the environments created by Writer 2
My DB_CONFIG file is configured as follows
set_cachesize 0 104857600 1   # 100 MB
set_lg_bsize 2097152                # 2 MB
set_data_dir ../../vol1/data/
set_lg_dir ../../vol31/logs/SUBID/
set_lk_max_locks 1500
set_lk_max_lockers 1500
set_lk_max_objects 1500
set_flags db_auto_commit
set_tx_max 200
mutex_set_increment 7500
Has anyone come across this problem before or is it something to do with the configuration?

Hi Michael,
I should have included about how we are making use of DB_TRUNCATE flag in my previous reply itself. Sorry for that.
From writers, DB truncation happens periodically. During truncate (DB handle is not associated with any environment handle i.e. stand-alone DB
) following parameters are passed to db->open function call:
DB->open(DB *db,
DB_TXN *txnid,          => NULL
const char *file,          => file name (absolute DB file path)
const char *database, => NULL
DBTYPE type, => DB_HASH
u_int32_t flags, => DB_READ_UNCOMMITTED | DB_TRUNCATE | DB_CREATE | DB_THREAD
int mode); => 0
Also, DB_DUP flag is set.
As you have rightly pointed out, `No such file or directory` is occuring during truncation.
While a database is being truncated it will not be found by others trying to open it. We simulated this by stopping the writer process (responsible for truncation) and by opening & closing the databases repeatedly via readers. The reader process did not crash. When readers and writers were run simultaneously, we got `No such file or directory` error.Is there any solution to tackle this problem (because in our case writers and readers are run independently. So readers won't come to know about truncation from writers)?
Also, we are facing one more issue related to DB_TRUNCATE. Consider the following scenario:
<ul><li>Reader process holds reference of database (X) handle in environment 'Y' at time t1
</li>
<li>Writer process opens the database (X) in DB_TRUNCATE mode at time t2 (where t2 > t1)</li>
<li>After truncation, writer process closes the database and joins the environment 'Y'</li>
<li>After this any writes to database X is not visible to the reader process</li>
<li>Once reader process closes the database X and re-joins the environment, all the records inserted from writer process are visible</li>
</ul>
Is it the right behavior? If yes, how to make any writes visible to a reader process without closing and re-opening the database in the above-mentioned scenario?
Also, when [db_set_errfile|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/api_c/db_set_errfile.html] was set, we did not get any additional information in the error file.
Thanks,
Magesh

"No such file or directory" errors on Time Machine backup volume

I remotely mounted the Time Machine backup volume onto another Mac and was looking around it in a Terminal window and discovered what appeared to be a funny problem. If I "cd" into some folders (but not all) and do a "ls -la" command, I get a lot of "No such file or directory" errors for all the subfolders, but all the files look fine. Yet if I go log onto the Mac that has the backup volume mounted as a local volume, these errors never appear for the exact same location. Even more weird is that if I do "ls -a" everything appears normal on both systems (no error messages anyway).
It appears to be the case that the folders that have the problem are folders that Time Machine has created as "hard links" to other folders which is something that Time Machine does and is only available as of Mac OS X 10.5 and is the secret behind how it avoids using up disk space for files that are the same in the different backups.
I moved the Time Machine disk to the second Mac and mounted the volume locally onto it (the second Mac that was showing the problems), so that now the volume is local to it instead of a remote mounted volume via AFP and the problem goes away, and if I do a remote mount on the first Mac of the Time Machine volume the problem appears on the first Mac system that was OK - so basically by switching the volume the problem switches also on who shows the "no such file or directory" errors.
Because of the way the problem occurs, ie only when the volume is remote mounted, it would appear to be an issue with AFP mounted volumes that contain these "hard links" to folders.
There is utility program written by Amit Singh, the fella who wrote the "Mac OS X Internals" book, called hfsdebug (you can get it from his website if you want - just do a web search for "Mac OS X Internals hfsdebug" if you want to find it ). If you use it to get a little bit more info on what's going on, it shows a lot of details about one of the problematic folders. Here is what things look like on the first Mac (mac1) with the Time Machine locally mounted:
mac1:xxx me$ pwd

So you can see from the first few lines of the "ls -a" command, it shows some file/folders but you can't tell which yet. The next "ls -la" command shows which names are files and folders - that there are some folders (like ACPI) and some files (like A.txt and A9.txt) and all looks normal. And the "hfsdebug" info shows some details of what is really happening in the "Documents" folder, but more about that in a bit.
And here are what a "ls -a" and "ls -al" look like for the same locations on the second Mac (mac2) where the Time Machine volume is remote mounted:
mac2:xxx me$ pwd

If you look very close a hint as to what is going on is obvious - the inode for the Documents folder is 152 on the local mounted case (the first set of code above for mac1), and it's 728505 in the remote mounted case for mac2. So it appears that these "hard links" to folders have an extra level of folder that is hidden from you and that AFP fails to take into account, and that is what the "hfsdebug" shows even better as you can clearly see the REAL location of the Documents folder is in something called "/.HFS+ Private Directory Data%000d/dir_135" that is not even visible to the shell. And if you look closely in the remote mac2 case, when I did the "cd Documents" I don't go into the inode 135, but into the inode 728505 (look close at the "." entry for the "ls -la" commands on both mac1 and mac2) which is the REAL problem, but have no idea how to get AFP to follow the extra level of indirection.
Anyone have any ideas how to fix this so that "ls -l" commands don't generate these "no such file or folder" messages?
I am guessing that the issue is really something to do with AFP (Apple File Protocol) mounted remote volumes. The TimeMachine example is something that I used as an example that anyone could verify the problem. The real problem for me has nothing to do with Time Machine, but has to do with some hard links to folders that I created on another file system totally separate from the Time Machine volume. They exhibit the same problem as these Time Machine created folders, so am pretty sure the problem has nothing to do with how I created hard links to folders which is not doable normally without writing a super simple little 10 line program using the link() system call - do a "man 2 link" if you are curious how it works.
I'm well aware of the issues and the conditions when they can and can't be used and the potential hazards. I have an issue in which they are the best way to solve a problem. And after the problem was solved, is when I noticed this issue that appears to be a by-product of using them.
Do not try these hard links to folders on your own without knowing what they're for and how to use them and not use them. They can cause real problems if not used correctly. So if you decide to try them out and you loose some files or your entire drive, don't say I didn't warn you first.
Thanks ...

The problem is Mac to Mac - the volume that I'm having the issue with is not related in any way to Time Machine or to TimeCapsule. The reference to TIme Machine is just to illustrate the problem exists outside of my own personal work with hard links to folders on HFS Extended volumes (case-sensitive in this particular case in case that matters).
I'm not too excited about the idea of snooping AFP protocol to discover anything that might be learned there.
The most significant clue that I've seen so far has to do with the inode numbers for the two folders shown in the Terminal window snippets in the original post. The local mounted case uses the inode=728505 of the problematic folder which is in turn linked to the hidden original inode of 135 via the super-secret /.HFS+... folder that you can't see unless using something like the "hfsdebug" program I mentioned.
The remote mounted case uses the inode=728505 but does not make the additional jump to the inode=135 which is where lower level folders appear to be physically stored.
Hence the behavior that is seen - the local mounted case is happy and shows what would be expected and the remote mounted case shows only files contained in the problem folder but not lower-level folders or their contents.
From my little knowledge of how these inode entries really work, I think that they are some sort of linked list chain of values, so that you have to follow the entire chain to get at what you're looking for. If the chain is broken somewhere along the line or not followed correctly, things like this can happen. I think this is a case of things not being followed correctly, as if it were a broken chain problem then the local mounted case would have problems also.
But the information for this link in the chain is there (from 728505 to the magic-135) but for some reason AFP doesn't make this extra jump.
Yesterday I heard back from Apple tech support and they have confirmed this problem and say that it is a "implementation limitation" with the AFP client. I think it's a bug, but that will have to be up to Apple to decide now that it's been reported. I just finished reporting this as a bug via the Apple Bug Reporter web site -- it's bug id 8926401 if you want to keep track it.
Thanks for the insights...

Bootcache.playlist no such file or directory, slow booting 10.7.2

Hi guys, I have this problem after updating to Lion 10.7.2 :
There are many threads addressing a similar problem, but all the fixes mentioned there did not work (deleting bootcache and checking access rights) and also
my problem is different, because my mac boots, after all. The others had bootloops or got stuck while booting.
When booting in verbose mode, the message
BootCacheControl:Unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist: 2 No Such file or directory
appears, but the system still boots - veery slow, though (about 2 minutes)
The next time it boots, it says no bootcache can be found and it builds a new one. After that it reboots by its own, without the bootcache.playlist error message, but still slow but with no problems whatsoever.
The next boot is as the first one I described, so I my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 is looping through those problems^^
Also, the file /var/db/BootCache.playlist is definetely existent, and has the following access rights: -rw------- (600) should not be a problem, should it?
Ah, and maybe I should mention, that I am using the full disk encryption Filevault2.
I hope somebody knows what to do with this vague information!
Thanks in advance!

i wish I had the answer; would love to find out, as it is happening to my husband's make as well. His doesn't always boot up though. and then he gets "disk0s2: media is not present". Spent several hours on the phone with Apple today, and got nowhere.

/var/db/BootCaches.playlist 2:no such file or directory appeared after Mavericks update

Hi all,
I have tried to upgrade my iMac 2009 running 10.6.8, 3.06GHZ, 4GB ram machine and hit upon a grey load up screen and nothing more after the update. I have worked back through everything I could find in these forums as the bellow:
1. Completed all of the grey screen advice from Apple bar a full wipe and rebuild, but have left this as the last resort
2. Launched again from back up and reloaded Mavericks only to get the same problem
3. Tried to launch in Safe mode and the computer quits half way through the status bar and will not launch into Safe mode
4. Corrected all disk permissions in Disk Utility
5. Checked my EFI update and am running the latest version
6. Tried resetting the NVRAM but computer will not work from the keyboard shortcuts
7. Run Verbose mode where I could see the problem with loading Bootcache which produces the following script /var/db/BootCaches.playlist 2:no such file or directory
8. Created a carbon copy backup also and am now considering a full wipe
I have updated to Mac Book Airs in the last few weeks, and after the computer auto restarts the program then moves to a new processing screen where it finalises writing script, this point never happened on my iMac and after it restarted it just hung on the grey screen with the Apple logo. It is definitely in the Bootcache problem as this is one of te last processes and matches the amount of time the computer starts working before it heads into the grey hanging screen of death. This is definitely something that mavericks script alters, moves or deletes as I have seen this problem littered across the forums as well as the in ability for Safe mode now to work.
I am back up and running 10.6.8 at current and downloading a new version of Mavericks (more fool me). It could be a drive corruption but am unsure, but the computer s working well on 10.6.8 and has done for a very long time. Has anyone solved this yet, as t s driving me crazy!!!
Any Jedi's out there, I would be most indebted to you!

Hi all,
Well I thought I would re-post as have found a solution.
I created a bootable USB version of Mavericks using this article here which was very informative: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/apple-in-the-enterprise/how-to-create-a-bootabl e-usb-to-install-os-x-mavericks/
I then rebooted via it, this again caused the grey screen of death as I thought it would, from reboot to reach this screen I held the Option Button. Before I did this I took a cloned copy of the hard drive and also backed-up again to Time Machine. Have over 470GB of music, photos and films, so yes was being a little over precautious.
I then rebooted and went into recovery mode (Cmd and R) and erased my hard drive.
I then rebooted once again but booted from my Mavericks USB version now with a clean hard drive, and set-up completed as expected with no problems. Its working beautifully at current but am yet to migrate files using the migration assistant, but once I have the new Mavericks version of my machine backed-up I will complete the migration, fingers crossed!
A few days of pain, but was a good learning experience. It was more difficult than it should be to created a bootable USB, but luckily I had another mac to work on and a decent back-up drive.
Hopefully helpful to others!

TS2570 On start up of my new iMac it locks on the grey screen with the apple logo and the progress wheel spins. Boot up in safe and this is where it stopped at "BootCacheControl: Unable to open /var/db/bootcache.playlist: 2 no such file or directory. "

Reinstalling MacOS does NOT fix the problem for me. I'm still searching a solution !

Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]) and error while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Hi Gurus,
I'm trying to upgrade my test 9.2.0.8 rac to 10.1 rac. I cannot upgrade to 10.2 because of RAM limitations on my test RAC. 10.1 Clusterware software was successfully installed and the daemons are up with OCR and voting disk created. Then during the installation of RAC software at the end, root.sh needs to be run. When I run root.sh, it gave the error: while loading shared libraries: libpthread.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. I have libpthread.so.0 in /lib. I looked up on metalink and found Doc ID: 414163.1 . I unset the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in vipca (unsetting of LD_ASSUME_KERNEL was not required in srvctl because there was no LD_ASSUME_KERNEL in srvctl). Then I tried to run vipca manually. I receive the following error: Error 0(Native: listNetInterfaces:[3]). I'm able to see xclock and xeyes. So its not a problem with x.

10.1.1.2 sunny2prv.ezhome.com sunny2prv
My questions are:
should ping on sunny1vip and sunny2vip be already working? As of now they dont work.
if you look at oifcfg getif, I initially had eth1 10.0.0.0 global cluster_interconnect,eth0 192.168.2.0 global public then I created eth1 10.1.1.0 global cluster_interconnect with setif. Should it be 10.1.1.0 or 10.0.0.0. I looked at the subnet calculator and it says for 10.1.1.1, 10.0.0.0 is the subnet. In metalink they had used 10.10.10.0 and hence I used 10.1.1.0
Any ideas on resolving this issue would be very much appreciated. I had been searching on oracle forums, google, metalink but all of them refer to DOC Id 414163.1 but it does n't seem to work. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Once I execute the add nodeapps command as root on node 1, I was able to get vip exists for config nodeapps on node 2. The above 2 statements resulted me with same values on both nodes. After this I executed root.sh on both nodes, I did not receive any errors. It said CRS resources are already configured.
My questions to the gurus are as follows:
Should ping on vip work? It does not work now.
srvctl status nodeapps -n sunny1pub(same result for sunny2pub)
VIP is not running on node: sunny1pub
GSD is not running on node: sunny1pub

Will crs_stat and srvctl status nodeapps -n sunny1pub work after I upgrade my database or should they be working now already? I just choose to install 10.1.0.3 software and after running root.sh on both nodes, I clicked ok and then the End of installation screen appeared. Under installed products, I see 9i home, 10g home, crs home. Under 10g home and crs home, I see cluster nodes(sunny1pub and sunny2pub) So it looks like the 10g software is installed.

Hard Drive Error after Erasing - "No Such File or Directory"

I have a Western Digital My Passport 400GB external HD (bought in April 09). It's been working great but I had it on FAT formatting and let's just say transfers are slow. I borrowed another external drive to back everything up so I could reformat this drive to Mac OS.
Problem came after I backed up everything...I ran Disk Utility to erase the HD and format it in Mac OS Extended (journaled). It successfully erased the Hard Drive on All Zeros, taking 6 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes. Then when it tried to partition, I got the error No Such File or Directory. Here's the log:
"Preparing to zero disk : “Untitled”
Secure Erase completed successfully in 6 days, 5 hours, 50 minutes.
Preparing to erase : “Untitled”
Creating Partition Map
Disk Erase failed with the error:
No such file or directory
Erase complete."
So now the hard drive icon doesn't show up on my desktop, but is recognized in DU (without a volume however). Therefore there is no Mount Point and the drive remains unformatted. Any attempt in DU to partition or erase yields the same error message. Searched these discussions for days now without any luck. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple discussions.
I'm not following your problem description .... You said that you successfully erased the hard drive. The next step would be to partition it by giving it a name (you can give it a name under partition or under the erase function) - don't leave it as 'untitled', using Mac OS extended (journaled), a partition size, and ensure under options it says Apple partition map. There are no erasures involved when you partition the drive, which is where I'm confused over your problem description.

So I am trying to copy my hard drive "Macintosh HD" to an external hard drive, i want to use Terminal and have tried many ways. For example cp -r /Volumes/"Macintosh HD" /Volumes/"NO NAME". When i do it says No such file or directory. Ideas?

The reason that threadjacking is frowned on (as mentioned in the terms use which you can read by clicking the link to the right on this page) is for the most part a practical one:
By starting your own thread your problem can get individual attention, focussed on your particular set of circumstances.
By joining somebody else's thread it becomes tricky to answer more than one question at the same time, and can lead to confusion for both parties.
So if you don't mind the minor inconvenience, please start your own thread (in the correct forum) so we can get to grips with your particular problem!

Disk Utility error: "No such file or directory."

I'm trying to copy a DVD I made in iDVD. What I've always done in the past is to open Disk Utility, put the DVD in the optical drive, select "Images...New...Image From [optical drive]". But today when I do this I get an error message that says "No such file or directory."
I've tried selecting the drive ("2.0 GB PIONEER DVD-R...") and selecting the DVD ("CFTPRODUCTDEMO").
The DVD plays in DVD Player no problems. I have 11 GB free on my hard drive. I'm using a new Pioneer DVR-111D external optical drive (the internal 106D won't read DVDs it makes).
What's wrong?

Hey,
Im having the same exact problem.
Toast even says it has a medium error with this drive.
I cant burn with toast and it wont play other DVD-R movies
that I have burnt on other systems.
What is the fix?

Samba: No Such File or Directory ? Strange Problem..
