samba hide some files and show zero bytes properties

[Anime4000]

I run clean Ubuntu install, samba usershare somewhat unable to list files:
1. Some folder missing
2. Some file are missing
3. Cannot copy file to Windows
4. Large file cannot copy into samba (New SSD, Not broken)
5. File become folder

been a week to solve samba issue, I dont know what happen,

without using usershare, same problem:

[DATA]
    comment = Global Sharing
    path = /mnt/sde1/DATA
    read only = no
    guest ok = no
    browsable = yes
    writable = yes
    create mask = 0644
    directory mask = 0755
    force user = anime4000

anime4000@HITOHA-VM:~$ samba --version
Version 4.11.6-Ubuntu

anyone know why???

I cannot explain all those symptoms but the "file becomes folder" problem may be due to a change Samba made a few versions ago. See if this resolves anything:

OMG, this works with existing file & folder (NTFS Disk > SSD: sdb1, sdc1, sdd1 & HDD: sde1)

store dos attributes = no

I can access these file now, I wonder why that not default inside smb.conf?

I come across Launchpad Bug #1872476 and found unofficial patch

These patch works but usershare are being disabled, so no quick way to enable/disable share within File Manager.

Both are works, I prefer store dos attributes = no looks clean without need patching

What file system is the share using? Sharing NTFS with Samba is less than fun

[Anime4000]

I see, NTFS and Samba is bad combination...

here my fstab on Kubuntu

# Samsung QVO 1TB SSD: sdb sdc sdd
# Seagate ST1000LM024 HDD: sde
# Managed by gnome-disk-utility 3.36.1

Which File System is best for samba beside ext4?

[ActionParsnip]

If you are using Linux, then a Linux file system will give fewer headaches. If you need to move the drive around then NTFS is good but Samba may be problematic. You have to remember that NTFS is a proprietary file system and only Microsoft truely understand it's workings. The NTFS access you enjoy is a best effort attempt by the NTFS-3G
guys which is awesome but will not match what Microsoft know as Microsoft won't share how their file system works

For the vast number of use cases in a home lan NTFS makes an ideal choice for Samba simply because it's permissions are immutable. Even the share definition becomes easier since all the create mask, directory mask, and the few dozen other parameters become irrelevant. Of course this depends on how complicated a share definition you want to create.

The only way to achieve the same result on a Linux filesystem would be to do a bindfs remount which gives it the same immutable property.

The only argument for not using NTFS would be if the server was Linux only since if something did happen to the partition there would be no safe way to repair it.
