To perform a backup on my linux server, I have written a script. I mount a share on a windows server, and then zip four directories onto the samba mounted drive. It then unmounts the share. The tar command I use calls gzip, and I get a "No space left on device" error. This is what's in the syslog: Nov 8 04:04:16 linuxbox kernel: smb_errno: class ERRHRD, code 31 from command 0x2f Nov 8 04:04:16 linuxbox kernel: smb_writepage_sync: failed write, wsize=4096, write_ret=-5 Nov 8 04:04:16 linuxbox kernel: smb_errno: class ERRHRD, code 31 from command 0x32 Nov 8 04:04:16 linuxbox kernel: smb_file_write: //cvs_sw.tar.gz validation failed, error=-5 Nov 8 04:04:16 linuxbox kernel: smb_errno: class ERRHRD, code 31 from command 0x22 Nov 8 04:14:20 linuxbox kernel: smb_writepage_sync: failed write, wsize=4096, write_ret=-28 When running a df command, I get the following message: Nov 8 13:44:13 linuxbox kernel: smb_errno: class ERRHRD, code 31 from command 0x80 Any suggestions? - Jate
