I recently installed Debian 12 for Raspberry Pi and configured a Samba server. But now when I delete a file or a folder over the network I get an error, Samba object not found and then the file or folder gets deleted. Also if a folder contains multiple files, I have to delete all files one by one to delete that folder. This is only happening over the network. If I delete the same folder or file using a shell on the Raspberry Pi the files get deleted without any error.

This was not happening on my previous Debian 11 installation.

I have installed cifs-utils, smbclient also.

File permissions are all set to 0777 and (user and group) are for user server.

sudo chown -R server:server /media/Server
sudo chmod 0777 -R /media/Server

Below is the mounting string from /etc/fstab on the server

UUID=xxxxxxxxx /media/Server ntfs defaults,auto,users,uid=998,gid=992,rw,nofail 0 0

Below is the smb.conf:

[Server]
 path = /media/Server
 browseable = no
 read only = no
 valid users = server
 writeable = yes
 create mask=0777
 directory mask=0777

Kindly help me to fix the issue

  • Surpringly perhaps, running Samba to share a filesystem of type NTFS is not very efficient. Your Linux system has to translate NTFS into a native filesystem, and then Samba has to emulate NTFS characteristics on top of that. Can you reformat /mnt/Server to use a native filesystem?

  • Yes samba is running, I am able create a folder or file over the network without any issues. Only while deleting I am getting that error and then the file gets deleted. In debian 11 this error was not coming. It's a 4tb hdd can't format because I don't have any other media to take backup Commented Sep 26, 2023 at 7:33
  • Yes it's running on pi Commented Sep 26, 2023 at 8:31
  • Is that error message the exact text, or did you paraphrase it? Please ensure you provide the exact, complete, and full error message Commented Sep 26, 2023 at 8:39
  • Please provide the rest of the smb.conf file, not just the share definition Commented Sep 26, 2023 at 8:40
