Dear, I'm having some strange problems with Samba. I have shared a linux folder on my samba and have mapped it to a drive letter in Windows XP (I also tried with Windows 2000). When I right click my mapped drive and click on properties to view the free space and capacity, I get all garbage as can be seen from the screenshot at: http://www.nuonsoft.com/temp/samba_free_space.jpg I'm running the latest version 3.0.20 and it is running on AlphaCore which is Fedora Core 3 for the Alpha (64 bit platform). It compiled without problems with gcc 3.4.3. Because of this issue, I'm unable to use my samba network share from programs that check the freespace before doing something, like for example creating a cd image. Any help will be appreciated. My smb.conf is as follows: [global] workgroup = GREGOIRE server string = Alpha Server printcap name = cups cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192 dns proxy = no winbind uid = 16777216-33554431 winbind gid = 16777216-33554431 restrict anonymous = no domain master = no preferred master = no max protocol = NT ldap ssl = No server signing = Auto username map = /etc/samba/smbusers [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no read only = no [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba printable = yes printer name = EPSPHOTO guest ok = yes [mydocs] case sensitive = no guest ok = yes msdfs proxy = no read only = no path = /mydocs Some more system info: [root@alpha ~]# smbd --version Version 3.0.20 [root@alpha ~]# nmbd --version Version 3.0.20 [root@alpha ~]# uname -a Linux alpha 2.6.11-1.1180axp_FC3 #1 Mon Apr 18 11:34:15 EEST 2005 alpha alpha alpha GNU/Linux If you need other system information, please ask.

Can noone shed some light on this issue, because as it stands now, it is not useable.

[Samba] Free space/capacity displayed as garbage...
Have you tried using the 'max disk size' parameter in smb.conf ?

Anyone?
Is there something else that I can do to help pinpoint the problem?
Best Wishes,

[Samba] Free space/capacity displayed as garbage...
Indeed, the freespace reported may not always be correct.
However, what you relay is not what I'm seeing on any of my Samba servers.
If I have 'max disk size = 10000', the freespace seen from my Windows
clients is 10GB, until the actual freespace drops below that, when they
then see the actual freespace (ie. 2GB) ...

Hi,
Thanks for the reponse.
I tried it, but that's not the correct solution. I've set it to 10 GB
and
then it always says that there is 10 GB free, even if
there is only 2 GB free. At least, it doesn't display as garbage anymore,
but it's not correct.
Regards,
Marc
