This bug is very critical to me (Severity: critical), cause an important ERP-Applikation running on winxp-client deny to work due to this problem (found no space to save work-files and unfortunately no 'ignore'-button to workaround)
dist.: sarge maschine:(uname -a) 2.4.29 #1 SMP Do Mär 24 10:42:14 CET 2005 sparc64 GNU/Linux Package: samba Architecture: sparc Version: 3.0.14a-1 After reading the hints of this Bug#233688 I rebuild the samba-packages from source-packages after changing --with-quotas to --without-quotas in the rules-file. And indeed, the share size was immediately right. Unfortunately after the weekend this morning I wanted to verify my success but found silly sizes again. Restarting samba solved the problem only temporary, after about 10 minutes silly sizes again (from MB up to PB). I found nothing related in the logs. I thing restarting samba every ten minutes by cron is my friend now. thanks, Norbert
