OSX Cancelling File Copy Leaves Behind Zero Byte Files?

[coolspot]

Hi all,

 

When I cancel a file copy in OSX, it seems to leave behind zero byte files for the pending in queue.

 

With other NAS software, such as Synology, or your local drive, pending files are deleted from the destination if the copy is canceled.

 

What is interesting is that that the file in progress is properly deleted when cancelled, but not the remaining files in queue.

 

Anyone have this issue?

I think I solved the issue ... I had the following veto lines in my Samba config:

 

veto files = /._*/.DS_Store/.AppleDouble/.Trashes/.TemporaryItems/.Spotlight-V100/Thumbs.db/

delete veto files = yes

 

This breaks OSX's copy mechanism which precreates 0KB files. If you cancel a copy, I guess because the AppleDouble meta data could not be created on the file, OSX can't clean itself up properly after a canceled copy.

 

Removing the veto line, and reconnecting to the share, my copies now behave as expected.
