In the 1st overnight use of 13, I discovered what seems to be a significant error in SMB operation as it relates to file attributes, as described below.
I used a DOS batch file to update changed files in a directory on the server. Overnight today, it backed up the entire folder & subfolders. In looking at the files, all of them had the archive attribute set (not the case before updating from 12U81). At this point, as illustrated below, I found that the attrib command had no effect on the attributes.
I reverted to 12U81 & the archive bit remained set but the attrib command successsfully reset it.
Not sure if this is something unique to my setup (confirmed with 3 of my TN systems) & confirmed with 13RC1. I did not test this with RC1 before release because it was not on my production systems.
For now, I've reverted my 2 production systems to 12U81.
Can anyone confirm this behavior? I'm hesitant to open a bug ticket without confirmation.
Thanks,
John
