I've got a Windows 10 system with two shared folders: FolderC and FolderE. FolderC resides on my primary hard drive, FolderE on my secondary.

From a Ubuntu 15.10 system I want to access these two directories.

  • FolderC shows only the first 10 or sometimes 15 or 20 entries. At some point the alphabetically sorted list of subfolders is cut off.
  • FolderE lists all subfolders without a problem.

The file permissions on Windows are identical for all folders. On the command line in Ubuntu I get the same list of folders shown as in the file manager.

Where could the problem be?


P. S.: On another Windows 10 machine I see all folders.

  • If you can see on the other Windows 10 machine all the folders then there could be a problem with samba version compatibility between Windows 10 and Ubuntu.

  • @kukulo Unfortunately the problem occurs with openSUSE Tumbleweed as well. :-( Feb 27, 2016 at 14:50

    Please check the samba version for win10. Ubuntu 15.10 comes with samba 4 i think. The opensuse will be not an exception. The question will be whether win 10 supports lower version of samba.

Windows 10 will try to negotiate SMB3_11, which Samba4 doesn't yet support except in the current 4.3 release candidate. I suspect for now disabling SMB2/3 on the Windows 10 client is your best, if not ideal, option.

Instructions for doing this can be found here:

  • openSUSE Tumbleweed uses the Samba version 4.3.5. Isn't this version already newer than 4.3 RC? And if there was a problem with Windows 10 in general shouldn't that affect both folders? Feb 27, 2016 at 21:30

    Hard to say, because only MS can see the source of windows code. Usually when debugging such errors you need to have access to both sources.

    Your problem description leads me to the conclusion that MS did something very different in their Win 10 Samba implementation.
