Alfresco CIFS - Disappearing Folders in Windows Explorer

[sfreeper]

Hello Together,

We are using the Alfresco Community Edition 3.2.r2 on a Linux OpenSuSE 11.0.

Primarily our Users are Using Alfresco via the CIFS. Under Company Home We have a Folder Called "Ablage" below that are about 575 Folders.

Now We are having some Problems. Some Folders are just disappearing, when we want to access them via the CIFS/Windows Explorer. As if they weren't there! But the Folders are in the Web Interface and after I mount the CIFS into my Linux Box with a normale mount.cifs. Just not on Windows.

The Folders are coming back after about a half day, but then other Folders Disappear.

Another Strange thing is: When I type the Path to the invisible Folders in the Address bar of the Windows Explorer - it works! I can access the Folders as if there were no Problems. There are just not seeable.

I already changed the "last change" stamp on the Folder with touch - did not work. I tried to view it with the Total Commander –> Did also not work.

I already activated "Show System Folders" and "Show all Folders" in the Windows Properties but that also was no help. I also checked the rights but they are OK (you can even create Folders when you are entering the Invisible Folder via the Address Bar in the Explorer.)

Unfortunately, nothing appears in the Alfresco or the Tomcat Logs. Is there anything I could do? Did someone have a similar Problem?

Best Regards,
Markus

It has become apparent at this stage of my development in using the program that I will have to use the FTP mapped at this point or continue using CIFS until this is resolved.   I have for everyone's help on this, submitted a JIRA ticket on it noted here  :  https://issues.alfresco.com/jira/browse/ALF-3021

If you would like to leave your comments on this for more support , please do so as this will expedite the process in getting this resolved.  I have done some things here and there and encountered the same issues as you mention above about the renaming and such.  It's still resolving the same types of issues no matter what.  I believe it's possible it could be the buffer within the system.  I think that there is something else also related to the SAMBA JLAN code that we can't see. 
Thanks for your support.
