You should better try to stay away from non-bytestream files when
it comes to Samba access. Especially FA, VA and VB files tend to
not work properly unless the PC side only uses certain file system
calls (basically read sequentially until eof is detected, instead
of retrieving the file size and then reading that many bytes).

You can find some details regarding the Posix stat() / fstat() issue,
which is essentially an issue of FLABELINFO and FFILEINFO in a writeup
called "Samba/iX and PC Connectivity Issues". Should be either at the
www.sambaix.com web site or at the web pages at www.3k.com, where it
all started with Samba/iX.
