Hi. I hope this has been sent to the right place.
I am using files that are mount.cif share files. My client is a samba =
linux box but acting as a client over cifs to an XP box (several in =
fact).=20
I am descending the share recursively with opendir and readdir detecting =
files ( and of course directories ) before doing my processing.
I note from a wireshark trace I am getting errors - sharing violations =
reported by XP. I would very much like to detect these events to take =
action - ignore the file for instance - but right now I have a true or =
false return from readdir, is_dir, is_file or is_link which is not very =
helpful during a fault condition such as a sharing violation. In other =
words a sharing violation looks like a readdir saying no more files!

It seems that once the error condition comes about all my reads of a =
directory and tests of file types fail until I reach the end of that =
directory and all of its parent directories. This is not so good.

Am I missing a trick here? If not is it possible to bring out more error =
information so that I can detect these events. An error array as an =
additional overloaded argument to readdir, opendir (indeed any I/O) =
where the first element has the normal true/false perhaps but a second =
element has a return code for smb/cifs/file_system failure/error/warning =
condition?

Thanks

Ian
