Dear All I have server running samba under Redhat 6.0. I need to copy a load of data (approx. 8.5 Gig) from the existing file server (A Novell 3.12 box) to the new server. The disk being copied TO is actually a raid 0 array comprising a 4G + 8G = 12G. The linux box connects to the Novell box using IPX and ncpmount. When the data is copied across it then occupies all the space on the drive. This is a problem since the original point of the exercise was to give us some room on the disk!! :-) Does anybody have any idea why the files are ballooning? Could it be fragmentation? Is it something to do with the RAID array? Any ideas on even where to begin looking?
