Hello,
I don't know if anyone has any ideas on how to solve this.
The same issue seems to occur in Red Hat EL 4 as well. CentOS 3.8 seems
to be normal with both 23d and built in 3.0.9, so does Fedora Core 6.
It seems to be something to do with NFS; though I don't know what's
happening.
If I change the window size of the NFS mount, although everythings
normal on the underlying unix box samba changes the free space on the
drive wildly. I don't think it's related to quotas but disk space. This
occurs in any samba 3 I try it on.
I've put more examples below illustrating what is happening. Does anyone
have any ideas?
NFS Server space: 17GB, free 468MB
mount -o wsize=512
Samba shows on windows: 54MB free of 2.07GB
mount -o wsize=1024
Samba shows on windows: 218MB free of 8.30GB
mount -o wsize=2048
Samba shows on windows: 109MB free of 4.15GB
Mount -o wsize=4096
Samba shows on windows: 54.6MB free of 2.07GB
mount -o wsize=8192
Samba shows on windows 27.3MB free of 1.03GB
mount -o wsize=16384
Samba shows on windows 13.6MB free of 531MB
Mount -o wsize=32768 (default?)
Samba shows on windows 6.8MB free of 265MB
