Hi all, I'm running a samba-server (version 3.6.6 from the backports) on a Debian Squeeze System (kernel-version 2.6.32-5-686). The Debian-Server is configured as a member of an Active-Directory (Server 2003).
A samba-share is configured to be the home-drive for the domain-users, I've set up some quotas for this partition. The problem is that the Windows-Clients only recognize the quota-softlimit and consider the drive as full when the softlimit is reached. This behavior is the same with Windows-XP as with Windows-7 clients. Here's what I already tried: Login at a Windows-Client and reach the softlimit of the share, when limit is reached Windows denies to write because partition seems to be full. SSH-Login as domain-user at the samba-server, exceed the softlimit until hardlimit takes effect - okay. As root at linux-system mount a home-share with the appropriate user-credentials a cifs/sbm-share, exceed the softlimit until hardlimit takes effect - okay. Enforce the smb-protocol 2 with "min protocol = smb2, max protocol = smb2" - Has no effect to the quota-behavior. Set the parameter "strict allocate = yes" (I read about this parameter according to a similar problem) - no effect too. So linux seems to handle the quotas right, but windows doesn't. Here's the complete smb.conf: [global] workgroup = INTERN realm = INTERN.MPIER.DE netbios name = SAMBA-TEST security = ADS idmap uid = 10000-20000 idmap gid = 10000-20000 template shell = /bin/bash winbind use default domain = yes interfaces = 192.168.1.24 bind interfaces only = yes store dos attributes = yes map archive = no map read only = no max protocol = SMB2 min protocol = NT1 strict allocate = yes [software] comment = Testfreigabe path = /srv/software read only = no admin users = +domänen-admins [home] comment = Home-Laufwerke path = /home/%U read only = no create mask = 0600 directory mask = 0700 root preexec = /etc/samba/scripts/mkhomedir.sh %U And here's the config for the user-quota: Datenträgerquotas für user neumann (uid 10000): Dateisystem Blöcke weich hart Inodes weich hart /dev/mapper/vg_sda3-lv_home 4075248 4194304 5242880 10910 0 0 /dev/mapper/vg_sda3-lv_srv 16276 0 0 2 0 0 I appreciate all your help and suggestions.
