Samba has released 2.2.1. I noticed in the ChangeLog : 28). Fix for Samba running on top of Linux VFAT ftruncate bug As IIRC this problem has been reported in connection with a Wine problem (about Forte Agent), ppl wanting to use an app under Wine to access data on a Samba shared VFAT partition should use the last Samba version. It never hurts anyway :-) Gerard
