Problem with UNC shares from Linux server

That is what I'm using.

any idea what that returns? I'm assuming it is what is stored in the wiz.bin.

I assumed it returned exactly what's in the wiz.bin. I don't know for sure, BobPhoenix may be correct about the path getting "translated". I didn't think it did that but I could be wrong.

I know you can move the wiz.bin back and forth between Windows and Sage but I thought the recordings showed up because Sage scans the recording directories when started up and repairs the wiz.bin by removing entries for files that no longer exist and adding entries for the new files it finds.

It's not going to remove an entry unless a property setting is changed but I could see it adding them into the linux wiz.bin based on metadata stored in the recordings and properties files. I've had to delete my wiz.bin two times now on Windows because of poor boot times 1 hour or more. Why I was looking at going to linux. Just haven't been able to switch yet. There is a tool that reads the wiz.bin that a forum member wrote that might be able to look at the paths stored in the wiz.bin.
