hi samba fellows,

It is my first time to ask questions in samba mail list. Very sorry if
my question is very naive.

The problem is when I write to
a non-existent file from windows to a linux export, there will be an
extra readdir operation triggered. If I write to an existent file, no
readdir operation will be triggered.

How could I avoid the extra readdir operation in all cases when I am just
writing to a file?

Very much appreciate your help!

I used samba
(3.4.0) to export a FUSE mount from Ubuntu with the following smb.cnf:

----------------------------------------------------------------
[global]
security = share
guest account = nobody

[mofs]
path = /mnt/mofs
public = yes
guest ok = yes
guest only = yes
guest account = nobody
writeable = yes
browseable = yes
----------------------------------------------------------------

From the FUSE debugging info, I can see an extra readdir operation is
there when writing to a non-existent file
(/test/wj9.txt). I highlighted all key OS file
operations in the FUSE debugging info below:

However, if I write to an existent file
