Does somebody know if the Samba Client in MAC OS X (10.3.4 and 10.3.5) has problems looking at Linux-based Samba shares that are larger than 2 TB? I have Samba 3.0.2 running on my Linux box. I have never had any difficulty with the Mac seeing a 2 TB RAID array on the Linux box, but when the Mac looks at the 4 TB array, it can see all the contents and create folders but it can't create any new files. And in the "Get Info" for the 4 TB Samba share, the Mac tells me that there is "zero K" of space left on the drive. My Windows XP machines don't have a problem looking at the same share, or in creates files on the share. I don't think it's a permission thing because: a) I have made the share Read/Write for all users b) I am logging on with the same username and password from both the Windows and Mac machines Any ideas? Regards, Andy Liebman

What version of the client is included with your build of OSX? Maybe see if Apple knows anything about how to replace it with a current build. -- -- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
