[olug] Strange Samba File And Folder Icons

[Joe Catanzaro]

The other night the lights on my hub started flashing like crazy. 
After having done some research, it turns out smbd on my Fedora Core 
3 box running Samba 3.0.10-1.fc3 was doing something to a drive 
mapped on my XP SP2 box. When it finished, a large portion of the 
file and folder icons in the mapped drive had a double arrow added to 
the bottom of their file or folder icon. Like 
this:

Does anyone know what this means or what Samba is doing? I've gone 
through the logs and surprisingly they don't tell me much.

Thanks,
