OPENDIR() using a cifs file system mount

[Nancy Palmquist]

Fellow Filepro users,

I have run into an issue using a Linux version of filepro 5.0 and we 
store historical data on a cifs mounted device.  FilePro needs to read 
the filenames and move the files to permanent storage based on some 
information.

So generally the files are dropped in a tmp folder, filepro uses 
OPENDIR() to get an array with the file names, we lookup the order and 
then move the file to an archive folder based on the looked up info.

This worked great until the drive failed and we had to replace it.

cifs mount on the Linux side was setup the same.  I added commands to 
the mount to set the owner, group, file modes and directory modes.  I 
setup the drive as Read/Write.  I can export a file into the TMP 
folder.  I can use SYSTEM "ls -l TMPFOLDER" and get a directory listing.
But aa=opendir("*.xml",TMPFOLDER) returns 0 files (There are a few 
hundred in the folder)

Any ideas?

I expect the NAS device we had to put in place in this emergency is not 
functioning correctly.  It is WINDOWS based and the one that crashed was 
LINUX based.

Is there something else I should be checking before I reprogram the 
logic using another method than OPENDIR()???

Nancy
