I have a Redhat Linux 7 machine running Samba 2.07 for file server access only. Samba is setup to use our NT server (4 w/sp6) as the primary domain controller to validate accounts on. Fine, this is all working dandy. Except that for some odd reason, when some of our Win2k clients are accessing the file server, they will occasionally get an "Insufficient Quota" error. Now, admittedly, I have no idea if it is samba or Win2k that is causing this, but some points; 1: This only happens with clients running win2k 2: This only happens when they are attempting to save data to the samba share 3: Neither our NT server (the pdc), nor the samba server are setup to use file quotas Curiously, only two (of the oh, 20+) of our Win2k clients have reported this problem, both artists. One says it only happens when they are in 3dMax, the other says it only happens in Photoshop. (They both use both tools). If any one has any insight into why this may be happening, I would greatly appreciate it.

Insuffecient Quota with Win2k and Samba 2.0.7
Hi Gary, That's weird - you might have these two users check to see if they have quotas enabled on the drives on their local machine; open "my computer" and then right click on the volume of interest, and click on quotas... Maybe some temp files or something are being generated on one of the local drives during these operations by the software, and it's your WIN2K box that is complaining... Hope this helps, Don -----Original Message----- From: Gary McNickle [mailto:gary@sunstorm.net] Sent: Thursday, April 05, 2001 10:17 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: Insuffecient Quota with Win2k and Samba 2.0.7 I have a Redhat Linux 7 machine running Samba 2.07 for file server access only.
