I didn't use samba for some time and now, when I need it, there are some strange issues.
Most of the time, I can copy or edit files, but I can not delete them from Windows.
Directly on Gentoo, as costel, I can delete files without issues.

Current samba version and flags:
Code:
[ebuild   R    ] net-fs/samba-4.14.4::gentoo  USE="acl pam regedit system-mitkrb5 systemd -addc -addns -ads -ceph -client -cluster -cups -debug (-dmapi) (-fam) -glusterfs -gpg -iprint -json -ldap -ntvfs -profiling-data -python -quota (-selinux) -snapper -spotlight -syslog (-system-heimdal) (-test) -winbind -zeroconf" PYTHON_SINGLE_TARGET="python3_9 -python3_7 -python3_8" 0 KiB

Current config file (with many tries and error stuff)
Code:
[global]

# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
   workgroup = CWebMini

# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
   server string = Samba Server Mini

# Security mode. Defines in which mode Samba will operate. Possible
# values are share, user, server, domain and ads. Most people will want
# user level security. See the Samba-HOWTO-Collection for details.
   security = user

# This option is important for security. It allows you to restrict
# connections to machines which are on your local network. The
# following example restricts access to two C class networks and
# the "loopback" interface. For more examples of the syntax see
# the smb.conf man page
   hosts allow = 10.78.78. 127.

# If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
# than setting them up individually then you'll need this
   load printers = yes

# this tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

# Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
   max log size = 1024

# Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them
# here. See the man page for details.
   bind interfaces only = yes
   interfaces = lo enp2s0f0u2c2

# DNS Proxy - tells Samba whether or not to try to resolve NetBIOS names
# via DNS nslookups. The default is NO.
   dns proxy = no

vfs objects = acl_xattr
max protocol = smb2
#max protocol = smb3
#server signing = mandatory
#smb encrypt = mandatory
#client signing = mandatory
#oplocks = yes
#level2 oplocks = no

log level = 1
map to guest = Bad User

#============================ Share Definitions ==============================
[media]
   comment = Media
   path = /mnt/
   valid users = costel
   public = no
   writable = yes
   printable = no
#   guest ok = yes
   inherit owner = no
#   security mask = 664
#   force security mode = 664
#   directory mask = 2755
#   force directory mode = 2755
#   directory security mask = 2755
#   force directory security mode = 2755


fstab entry
Setting user_id, group_id and/or uig and gid did not help
Code:
# /dev/sdb1 - Date
PARTUUID=3d392045-036e-49eb-8c0c-dfb3f56e7ae9   /mnt/date       ntfs-3g users,rw,defaults                       0 0


Samba log contain
Code:
../../source3/smbd/close.c:1239(close_directory)
  close_directory: Could not delete share entry for....


What could be the error ?

Permission issue?
Samba permissions work on top of linux.
did you
Code:

smbpasswd -a costel
chmod 777 /mnt/date
mount /mnt/date
###and maybe an
inherit permissions = yes
###in smb.conf share definition

?
Code:

# /dev/sdb1 - Date
PARTUUID=3d392045-036e-49eb-8c0c-dfb3f56e7ae9   /mnt/date       ntfs-3g users,rw,defaults                       0 0


Is the above what you want to share?
Its a bit confusing from your output.......
Does Gentoo share and windows mount?
Or windows shares and Gentoo mounts?
Or both?
Which folder you wish to share?
Is it /mnt/date you wish to share?
Code:

[media]
   comment = Media
   path = /mnt/date
   valid users = costel
   public = no

I don't think it is a permission issue because logged in as costel I can create, edit and delete files.
Yes, I did pdbedit -a costel and it set the password, also.

Samba share contain all /mnt folder, some of them are ntfs partitions (date and downloads), rescue is ext4, filme is btrfs, usb and windows are empty and not-mounted most of the time.
The error appear sporadically, mostly on ntfs directories.
Code:
ls -als /mnt/
total 100
 4 drwxr-xr-x 10 root   root   4096 mai 20 11:13 .
 4 drwxr-xr-x 22 root   root   4096 mai  1 15:30 ..
 4 drwxr-xr-x  2 costel costel 4096 mai  3 13:56 backup
 4 drwxrwxrwx  1 root   root   4096 mai 21 20:25 date
 4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root   4096 mai 15 23:05 downloads
64 drwxr-xr-x  1 costel costel   74 mai  5 11:35 filme
 0 -rw-r--r--  1 root   root      0 apr 15 09:35 .keep
 4 drwxr-xr-x  5 root   root   4096 mai 25 19:17 linux
 4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root   4096 apr 30 17:45 rescue
 4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root   4096 apr 30 17:45 usb
 4 drwxr-xr-x  2 root   root   4096 apr 30 17:45 windows


With user_id=1000,group_id=1000, after mount, date and downloads appear to be owned by costel.
When mount ntfs partition directory become owned by root automatically.

I will try with inherit permissions = yes.

Thank you for your support!

Ah ah you wish to share the entire /mnt as an smb share?
Besides
/mnt/date do you have other mountpoints also inside /mnt
?

There are probably other ways to do this, but here are examples from my LAN:

/etc/fstab
Code:

//trantor/video         /mnt/samba-trantor      cifs    vers=1.0,users,user=guest,password=none,rw   0 0

//trantor/Documents     /home/tony/Documents    cifs    vers=1.0,users,credentials=/etc/credentials.tony,rw   0 0

Anyone can can read, write, delete on /video on machine trantor. (There is only me at present) WinXP on virtualBox has no problem. Neither did real WinXP before it crashed and burned.

Only user tony can read or write to Documents. You need to create a credentials file with the user name and password on the guest. I use multiple machines and monthly umount /home/tony/Documents on each and sync them with rsync, creating a backup on every workstation.

On the server side:
Code:
[video]
   create mask = 0755
   force user = nobody
   path = /video
   read only = No
[Documents]
   acl allow execute always = Yes
   comment = Central System Common Document Area
   create mask = 0755
   force group = tony
   force user = tony
   hosts allow = 192.168.0.96/27 127.
   path = /home/tony/Documents
   read only = No
   valid users = tony
A bit more security for my documents than for my video files.

@alamahant
Yes, downloads is also ntfs, rescue is ext4, filme is btrfs.
inherit permissions = yes does not seem to make a difference.

@Tony0945
With force_group and force_user I can delete files now, but not folders.

Thank you both, for support!

I will try to increase log verbosity to try to pinpoint the cause.
Directly on the machine no issue. I am allowed to do anything. Also via sshfs or winscp, no issues, whatsoever.
Deletion error occur with clean, untouched smb.conf.default (renamed as smb.conf) provided by samba ebuild.

Are the folders 0755 or what?

Only the owner can write/delete but the owner is "nobody". Who owns the directories that Windows can't delete?

Only "mai" can delete your directory.

The owner is the user costel and group costel.
I believe that mai is May month and Mar is March. I am sorry for localization.

For now, will make the share public and available to a network with only two computers for security.

Thank you for your support!

According to smbstatus recently accessed files and folders (copied, edited etc) got locked by samba:
Code:
Pid          User(ID)   DenyMode   Access      R/W        Oplock           Share                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             Path   Name   Time

I do not know how and why DenyMode is DENY_ALL. It is happening with NTLAN, SMB2_10 or SMB3_11 protocol.
Digging into documentation oplocks = no disable locks.

Adding oplocks = no to [global] section solved the issue.
As I am the only user, disabling opportunistic locking seems safe.
On the one side I am happy that the issue is gone, on the other side I am looking for an explanation why the lock persist until samba server restart and it is not released after some time.

Thank you all for your support!
