samba - Apr 2010 - know who is writing on this moment.

How I can know who is writing a volume of data?

What I want is to have monitored the writer to control sizes. I don't
have disk quotas.

smbstatus(8)?

I do not understand it very well.
I have a samba server of 100 users online. I have 2 repositories /
opt/data1 and / opt/data2. At 10:00 / opt/data1 had 70GB free and at 11:00
had 2Gb free.

How I can know who wrote that?
Where is written?

May have multiple users, for example.

just look for files modified between 10 en 11:00.  Or use du to see
what folders are now really full in /opt/data, then you will find the
user who has done that.
