   For many years I have had to retain two Windows virtual machines,   
   running on a Linux host and VirtualBox.   
      
   I need Windows XP for a large home-grown 16 bit programe and for a   
   programme that drives a Fujitsu cut-sheet feeder-scanner.   
      
   Windows 10 is for professional software not available on any other   
   platform.   
      
   The data files are all on Linux partitions and accessed from Windows   
   using samba.   
      
   I have to use the lowest security protocol for Windows to access the   
   data.   
      
   Today, I discovered that from both Windows I could not longer access   
   the data.   
      
   Eventually I powered down and then up again using a drive last cloned   
   in December 2022.   
      
   Everything worked perfectly.   
      
   So it seems an update has clobbered my machine.   
      
   Has anyone else using samba suffered from this problem?   
      
   TIA, Alan
