Server :: Samba Share Reporting Root Free Space?
Nov 20, 2010
Wierd problem, when I map a Windows Drive to my Ubuntu HTPC Samba share, Windows reports the free space as the free space on my root partition?!!?
HTPC Ubuntu server:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 12G 6.5G 4.0G 62% /udev 1.6G 308K 1.6G 1% /dev
[code]....
So my root partition has 4gb free, and my samba share (/mnt/data) has 97gb free.
From Windows machine:
net use
Status Local Remote Network
-------------------------------------------------------------------
OK Z: \xbmcfiles MS Windows Network
[code]....

I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.

I have recently upgraded to 10.04 alpha2. I have an external ntfs hard drive that I use for media storage. In Jaunty, I had this drive mounted with ntfs-3g and could read and write to it from my Windows laptop.
Now, I have mounted this drive in 10.04 and have rw access to it from within the machine itself i.e. I can move files around from the console etc... but when I try to write something to the share from my windows laptop, I get the following error:
Cannot copy [filename]: There is not enough free disk space. Delete one or more files to free disk space and then try again.
Here is df showing I have enough disk space. Also, I can copy the same file to my home directory which is also shared and them mv it through the console to the storage ntfs drive with no problem.
Code:
/dev/sdc1 488384000 416883568 71500432 86% /media/storage
Here is a copy of my smb.conf file.
Code:
[global]
## Browsing/Identification ###
# Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of workgroup = HOME
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)

I've been searching the web on this, followed up hints and tips (e.g. URL...) but with no results.I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 on 3 disk configuration:
1: 80GB SSD running root with /home mounted to the next disk
2: 250GB HDD where /home lives
3: 250GB backup of disk 2
My system is complaining since just now with:The volume "file system root' has only 640MB od disk space left

I recently tried a frugal/poor mans install of knoppix that I placed in a folder in the root partition of /home (hda7) in opensuse 11.3. I decided to delete the folder and contents. The hard drive was busy for several minutes and after it was finished, I checked the disk usage and found that / was at 97% capacity, up from what was 10gig of free space. I could not find any traces of the deleted folder or its contents, so I used puppy linux and ran e2fsck on the / partition. Puppy linux reported 1.9gig free space and opensuse reported .5gig free space. My concern is if the deleted folder is taking up space in the root partition that I can not locate and why the difference in reported disk space usage in hda7. Also, if more packages are installed, where are they placed (/ or /home)?

just some time ago, my /usr partition's used space is started to increase rapidly, and currently it reached 17.5GB. We put /usr as a separate partition (/dev/sda2)
So when we do "df" this is the result:
Code:
#df
...
/dev/sda2 20315844 17612628 1654576 92% /usr
...
But what makes me puzzled is if I do "du", I only get 4.3GB instead of 20GB as "df" reported.
Code:
# du -csh /usr
4.3G /usr
4.3G total
So I'm missing approx 13GB here. My question is:where does my 13GB missing?

I have an computer that mounts an external hard drive for backups. The Computer hard drive is about 110 GB; the external drive is 120 GB.
When I do a df -h it tells me there is 97% in use.
Checking the computer harddrive I am using about 52.8 GB (of the 110 GB) 501,579 items, totalling 52.8 GB (some contents unreadable)
The external drive is using roughly 49GB of the 120 GB available.
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/xanadu-root
114536088 104995108 3768692 97% /
udev 1030572 328 1030244 1% /dev
[Code]....
It seems like the total % is a reflect of total space consumed calculated off of ONE of the hard drives.

I have a samba share that I mount locally at boot through fstab. The share is writable and if I access the share directly, say with konqueror and smb (smb://hostname/sharename) then I can do anything I want (create, write, delete, edit, files/directories). I have a mount point on my local machine
Code:
/shares/mp3
and I (username dtest) was unable to do anything except read files and create directories trying to do them to the local mountpoint except as root. I figured it would be a matter of
Code:
chown -R dtest /shares/mp3
but I was unable to do that even as root, I kept getting permission denied. When I did
Code:
ls -alt /shares/ it told me the owner was 1000 and the group was root. Dtest was already a member of the root group and I was able to
Code:
chmod -R 774
as root but I still couldn't do anything except read and create directories directly via the mountpoint. Ultimately I solved this by changing the uid of user dtest via kuser and then just chowning my home directory back to dtest. It seems like as root I should be able to change the owner of the directory. I know it's because this is a samba share, but it doesn't make any sense why root couldn't just chown it. Is there another way to change the owner of a directory, or is this set by the machine hosting the samba share?

I have red hat linux server and it has mysql installed whenever i write on terminal command mysql -u root it shows error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): can't connect to local MYSQL server through '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (111) "
And another problem is that it is showing 0 byte free space istaed of freeing the space. it may seems that both problems are dependent on each other.

I have a LAN of about 70 computers that I would like to share media files between. I have gotten to the point with Samba that I can view the files without a username/password from client PC's. I would like to make all the folders read only except for one which will be writable for everyone. The thing that I am having a hard time with is allowing a couple of administrators (on Windows 7 machines) read/write access for all files/folders. I am completely new to Ubuntu and Samba so please make explanations thorough. Here is /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

I've setup a samba server on a centos 5 machine and am trying to connect to it via a windows 7. The problem I'm encountering is that the only share I am able to connect to is the tmp share. It doesn't matter if it is a protected share or not, I always get a "network path could not be found error" when trying to open the share from windows.

Fairly new Linux user, running Fedora 12, attempting to set up a simple Samba share to share files with a Windows box. I've gotten to the point where I can connect from the Windows box, and see a home directory and the directory I'm trying to share. The home directory is accessible and works as expected, but when I try to access the other directory I get "The network path could not be found."

I have a Samba Share which is mounted on various linux systems throughout the network. Whenever any of my user access those files using vim, Gedit it works fine and get perfect permissions to read/write those files. but whenever they try to open with any php IDE (quanta plus, geany, eclipse-pdt) they get error while saving those files. I dont think it is a permission or samba issue because we are able to edit/save those files using normal editors..

This is my first post. I am not all that new to Linux. I have done lots of reading on the OS but always felt a little timid when it came to trying out stuff.Here is my problem I have a stand alone samba server I am trying to setup to share all my digital photos and other doc. I can see the share from other machines. On the windows machines you can see the users home directory and the share itself in an folder icon. Whenever I try to access the share it asks for a passwd. I enter the passwd and the share folder is visible when I click on the folder I get and error message.

using OEL 5.4, which uses Gnome 2.16 interface I can see my share from Windows, but whatever I do, I get messages that my share is not accessible. The whole user thing is quite complex, dont understand what user I should use on Windows, what password, what user should have what rights on linux.
I'll post smb.conf tomorrow ... The problem is that Windows lacks any decent error message, stating what kind of error message. Is there no Samba client for Windows?
