samba - Oct 2006 - Re: Tell Samba, it should not allocate disk memory before copying a file

Hello again,

as i found out, this allocation only happens when using Windows and writing on a
fat partition.

I did the same, mounting a fat partition with smbmount using Debian and copying
a file to that share,
then the file is copied immediately, there is no allocation first.

Then i tried the same, using a shared ext3 partition. Both, under Windows and
under Linux, the file is copied
immeadiately with no  preallocation of memory.


I thought this "strict allocate" parameter is the one i need to set 
to no, to void this preallocation. But
this parameter does not help. So what i am doing wrong, or is there possibly a
bug with that parameter?


I am happy for any idea.
Thanks a lot.

Susanne
