Samba/Windows problem: content of folder does not refresh

Published by pj under samba, opensource

Problems like:

  • files not disappearing when you delete it through a samba share on a windows machine
  • “new folder” command requires manual F5 (refresh) before it appears

Can be easily solved by adding:

refresh = 1

To your smb.conf configuration file. (global section)

Same issue earlier reported:
