I have a linux cluster that is exporting home directories via samba. When I connect from my powerbook I can log in and view/read files just fine, but the Finder (and df) think the volume is full so I can not write to it. A windows XP machine can connect and write just fine. The volume is a 2TB array in the cluster and I’m wondering if anyone knows if there are any issues with 10.4.2 and mounting large smb volumes, or if there’s something I might be doing wrong in my samba configuration.
I think I’ve figured out part of this.
Windows users could still write to the volume but they saw 0 bytes free as well.
What I think was going on was that I was serving the smb volume from the head node on my cluster which was auto-mounting the user directories via NFS from our storage server. Thus the directory that had all the home directories in it didn’t really have any space and the actual directories under it didn’t get mounted until you went into them.
When I log in to a specific user’s directory it auto mounts it on the head node and samba reports something more reasonable. (My PowerBook still shows 200GB when it’s really 1.9TB free.)
