Ubuntu :: Capacity Of /home In SAMBA Drive Not Showing?
Jul 8, 2010
I have a Lucid Lynx server running with a 6 GB for /home and a data partition of 400 GB mounted inside home (/home/user/data). The data partition is shared through SAMBA for access by other windows machines on the network. However, the capacity of the samba share shows up only as 6 GB (or less) while the actual capacity is 400 GB. I am assuming that this because it is mounted within the home partition. I understand that 400 GB is still available even though the SAMBA drive shows only 6 GB (or less) capacity.
The problem is, I am trying to setup Windows 7 Backup and Restore on one of my laptop. The backup stops with an error that the network drive does not have enough disk space. I think that this is because the samba drive only shows up as 6 GB or less capacity even though it can store more.
How do I fix this problem? How can see the actual size of the SAMBA drive (in my case 400 GB) in stead of the remaining space in /home partition? I know I can reformat my drive and make my /home 400 GB. But I am not sure if this will fix the problem. However, I will prefer to this without formatting.

I have just installed Ubuntu desktop and I am using this pc as a file server. I have already installed Samba and have it operational and viewable by my windows computers. Now the problem is that I have 2 hard drives and the way that I have Samba set up it is sharing my home directory which is wonderful but my windows computers do not have access to the second hard drive. I search for several hours this morning trying to figure out how to do this but cannot figure it out.

I use Fedora 11, and have an external HD (USB) which has 4 partitions of 500GB each.
/dev/sdb1 is an NTFS partition that is exported to my windows machine using samba.
However, only 75GB is visible in windows (via rt.click properties).
Anyways, below is output from fdisk -l. why does windows see only 75GB of a partition that is 500GB in linux?
fdisk -l
Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80000000000 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 9726 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x000ac734

I have an 8gb sandisk cruzer flash drive that I wanted to remove the U3 software from. I used with this:and ran it on my windows machine because wine didn't work for itbut after it removed U3 my card only had 3.8gb. Is there any way to restore it back to 8gigs?I've already tried reformatting with the disk utility and it just doesn't give me the option to format higher than 3.8gb.

How would one determine the capacity in sectors or LBAs of a USB Hard Drive? If I know the USB device number, like from 'lsusb', is there someplace on the system to get other information about the drive? What I want to do is have a program go out and get this information just for the number of LBAs on the drive itself. Partition info doesn't matter for what I am doing.

OK, this is really little to do with Linux, as my question really involves my Vista Home machines. Anyone know good methods to have Windows Vista (Home Edition) machines stay mapped to a SAMBA share on a Linux server? I'm using user-level security on the server (Ubuntu Server 10.10), and it (generally) works really well, but I can't get the rest of my family to use it, as (understandably), they don't want to have to type in their password to the share every time they log in to the Vista machines (or my one XP machine left, for that matter), plus the problems when it occasionally decides it's already tried to connect once and failed, and refuses to "restore" the connection, ugh. I currently have one Win7 machine, and surprisingly, with the Win7 Home Premium edition, it actually "remembers" the passwords to the SAMBA shares.

I want to use samba for file sharing like on a Windows home network. Actually they are all Linux machines but nfs is too complicated. On my host machine I installed samba and system-config-samba. I created a new share for /home, check marked writable and visible and put access to everybody. For preferences-->server settings--> security the "authentication mode" is set to user, encrypt passwords is no, and guest account is no guest account. Under preferences-->samba users I added myself as a user with the same windows user name as my Linux user name and the same password.
My client is a virtualbox fedora (used for testing purposes but actual clients will be real computers on my home network). I entered the address smb://192.168.1.184. When asked for the user name and password I put my regular user name and password since that was what I set in samba users. However, the password dialog keeps coming up and won't let met into my own computer. If I quit it says something like access is denied. How can I get my home network back? I liked this feature when my home computers ran XP but I switched them to Fedora 12.

For some reason SAMBA is not showing up
[default-www]
writeable = yes
read only = no
path = /var/www
force group = nogroup
force user = nobody
guest only = yes
public = yes
create mode = 777
directory mode = 777
I can see Ubuntu on the LAN, but nothing being seen under it. What is wrong with it? /var/www has been chmod already, and set to 777

Today I uninstalled Zimbra desktop from my Ubuntu 10.04. After doing it, I am facing several problems due to changes in system configuration.
My Home Folder contents are shown on Desktop and if I delete them from Desktop, they are also deleted from the Home Folder. I don't understand why this is happening.
Also, from the side pane in Explorer, the option of Home Folder is not present any more. When ever I go to Home Folder, on the side pane is shows that I am on desktop and the location bar shows that I am in Home Folder.

I changed the password on my samba server and now I cannot mount the share anymore from my Windows 7 box. The logs shows no errors whatsoever about authentication, is that normal? I remember from a long time ago that I never saw samba do that and it has made troubleshooting very difficult.
I changed the password with the smbpasswd wanuser command the samba version is 3.2.5
here my samba.cfg file
[global]
server string = asdfadf
log file = /var/log/samba/%m
panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
[Code].....
When I crank up the log level, samba shows lots and lots of totally irrelevant messages like connected and disconnected, but not why it got disconnected. On the Windows 7 machine, I get an error that the user and password is not correct. Why does Samba not report it?

I have recently installed Fedora F11 with a Samba server. The smb.conf seems fine but I cannot see any of the files in the share from a Windows machine. I am probably missing something unbelievably simple but driving me nuts!
I can see the machine and share from windows
When logged in as the user fred I can see all the files in Linux - most are owed by fred.
smbuser:
Code:
# x_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
root = administrator admin
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest
fred = fred
smb.conf:
Code:
[global]
workgroup = Workgroup
server string = Samba Server Version %v
netbios name = MachineName
hosts allow = 127. 192.168.0.
.........
[Docs]
comment = Main Documents
path = /mnt/documents
read only = no
browseable = yes
valid users = fred
.........
The other thing I find a bit odd is that
Code:
service smb restart
does not effect the way that the windows machine sees Samba. It appears that you need a full restart to get the changes to show properly.
Thanks,
Michael

I just upgraded my home machine to 11.2 and am running the regular Firefox 3.6.10 for openSUSE-11.2 (why can I still not cut and paste that infor from the dialog box, grr).
My home page is set to - file:///home/dhoworth/public_html/localstart.html
But when Firefox starts it shows instead a directory listing of - file:///home/dhoworth/
If I then press the home button, it shows my home page. If I start a new window from an existing one, it shows my home page.
why it isn't shown on startup?

I know this post isn't strictly linux based, but since the system in question appears to be using Linux and I am as well I decided to post this here. In doing other network playing with Ubuntu Sever 10.10 I noticed that on all traceroutes I did to any IP the second hop from my house jumped through a connection on IP 24.96.153.61 which I think should only be another dynamic IP Knology.net customer...
In scanning the IP I now know that its a Juniper Junos Router 9.2R1.10 (Probably running on some VMware based on googling?) Open ports show: 22 ssh openSSH 4.4 v. 1.99 23 telnet Openwall GNU/*/Linux telnetd
At first I thought this was just a legit Knology.net DNS server or something, but using such outdated versions and freeware... I feel suspiciously like this is something else. Also, why in the world would knology allow remote access to their mainframe equipment? Seems that if it were ever breached it would be beyond terrible for the ISP...
Finally, why can't people not SSH into my box from the outside if I have MAC address filtering on? Anyone know anything about this or am I just being paranoid? I'm a noob, so knowing too little about all this is probably more the problem?

I have a fileserver that I want to share out samba shares. However, i configured samba to have another netbios (SAN) and my windows box still sees whoopn-SAN which is the name I gave to my server when i installed it. Now I am using 9.10 and I know that i can create a share from the gnome gui in nautilus and that appears to be a windows like share. How can I turn OFF the windows like shares that ubuntu does out of the box and use ONLY samba? I ask because there appears to be a conflict of permissions b/w samba and this stuff.

I can not see my usb stick on the desktop. I have set the options for storage media to automount, and when I run lsusb in as terminal, the usb stick is there. It just seems as if ubuntu is not realizing that the stick is a storage device... I can acess the device in windows XP, so i know that it isn't broken. This appeared when I upgraded from Xubuntu 10.10 to 11.04.

I'm having some trouble with the user's home folders in Samba, ubuntu clients.I have a Samba server (Ubuntu Server 9.10)nd a bunch of windows clients and ubuntu clients too.On windows clients, each usercan see his home folder without problems, and the other shared folders too of course.The problem appears in ubuntu (i'm using gnome desktop with nautilus and the plugin for I enter Places->Network->Windowsetwork->DOMAIN->SERVER I only see the public shared folders, but no the samba user's home folder.I tryied connecting to samba through Places->Connect to Server and entering the username (for previous auth just in case) but nothing happens...
If, in nautilus I write smb://server/username, once it asked me for my user and password (but I told the popup to keep the password forever so now it doesnt ask me anymore :S), but it keeps not showing the folder under SERVER, the only way to access it is through smb://server/username directly. Even username@server does not work.Mi auth type in the Samba server is "user", and the auth config at my ubuntu client is also userJust in case.. when I type smbclient -L //SERVER -U username, it shows me the home folder ok.

I use a flash drive for regular back up and other work and this has been very successful until two days ago. None of my USB flask drives are showing in the Places menu when I connect them. I have a dual boot with Mint and they work perfectly in Mint. A few days ago I was unsuccessfully trying to get my Broadcom wifi card to work and was following threads to install and uninstall various firmware programs. I am not sure if this caused the loss of the USB drive. When I go into System Profiler and Benchmark nothing is showing under USB devices.

Alright. So recently I've been having computer trouble and need to clean install my OS on my main Hard Drive. That normally wouldn't be a problem but there's some stuff on my main hard drive that I really don't want to part with, SOOO I figured I'd pick up a new HD and OS and move the files I want to keep before clean installing. I have my new HD installed and everything and it even shows up as a option in the boot menu. I'm currently running Ubuntu from a Flash Drive but only my old hard drive will show up. How can I access my other HD?

At work, using SambaKerberos and ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto, I joined my machine to our ADS network. Again using ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto, I modified both common-account and common-auth with these settings.
file: /etc/pam.d/common-account
account sufficient pam_winbind.so
account required pam_unix.so

I have 10.04 and have samba running.
Samba is remotely administered with webmin and aim to setup home directory sharing. I am however having some trouble getting this to work.
I was of the understanding that home directory sharing allows me to create a user in ubuntu, which samba will then pickup and offer it up as a share.
My smb.conf looks like this..
Code:
#======================= Global Settings =======================
[global]
unix extensions = no
share modes = no
security = user
[Code]....
Essentially I've found this works providing I give the samba user a password after it is automatically created using the 'Configure automatic Unix and Samba user synchronisation' option in webmin.
However if I move the location of this home folder off the main drive i.e. /home/username I get turned away at attempted login.
I've tried specifying the path in [homes] using the path = /media/discarray, but this seems to break authentication somehow.
