samba - Aug 2000 - Samba 2.07 eats Disk-Space!

Hello,

we are using SAMBA 2.07 on an SUN Enterprise 10000 Server.
Today are 1800 Users connected.
After 2-3 Days the /opt Directory is getting full (2GB).

After stop samba server, the disk-space is getting free.


Data of the Server:
Solaris 7
Samba 2.07 installed in /opt/samba
6 Sparc CPU with 400MHz
6 GB RAM
Disk Space 1,7 TB

Can you help us?

ciao

Hmmm, sounds like (a) you are creating and deleting lots of files (or a
few large files), and (b) Samba has a fd leak somewhere.  This would
cause Samba to hold open deleted files, which causes them not to
*actually* be deleted until you stop Samba.  It also would have the
effect that the used space would be invisible, i.e. `du' would report
much less space used than `df'.

Does this sound like your problem?
