Samba Server Errors - process_usershare_file
by akashi from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5DH98)
I have a Samba server running on a Debian and whenever I access my share from a Windows 10 client, this is the error on syslog:
Code:Jan 30 15:45:00 raspberrypi smbd[3318]: [2021/01/30 15:45:00.911682, 0] ../source3/param/loadparm.c:3343(process_usershare_file)

Jan 30 15:45:00 raspberrypi smbd[3318]: process_usershare_file: share name rpi4movies*.* contains invalid characters (any of %<>*?|/\+=;:",)I can actually access this shared file 'movies.mp4' which is on the root of the shared directory. This error appears on ALL files I access from the root directory.
If I move the files into a subdirectory and then access them, this error does not appear on the syslog.
This error does not appear when I access the server from an Android or a Linux client.
Here is my smb.conf:
Code:[RPi4]
comment = External USB Storage
path = /mnt/usb1
create mask = 0644
directory mask = 0755
read only = no
browseable = yes
public = no
force user = pi
only guest = no
acl allow execute always = trueI have noticed the share name and filename are together on the syslong error as "rpi4movies*.*"
Any idea what is causing this error?
