Changes on SMB mount aren't seen until the file is actually opened.

arp242

arp242

The situation is this:

  1. I run file.py on my Windows 7 machine, either from the commandline or from explorer, doesn't matter.
  2. I edit this file on my (FreeBSD) server, this just works 20x better for me than editing it on Windows.
  3. The changes are not seen until I actually open the file in any editor. This is obviously not desired.

I'm not sure if this is a client (Windows) issue or a server (samba) issue (?) ... Does anyone happen to know?

I'm using the latest version of samba35 from ports.
 
Try building samba with FAM (File Alteration Monitor) enabled. See if that helps.
