OK I have tidied up the capitalisation of the paths making them all
consistent.
The file is mostly created by suse. I had added a few lines... I see
that on enlarging the text in kate that all the lines that appeared to
say "read only - no" is actually "read only = no". My mistake - so I
had added some lines that were incorrect, and see that log.nmbd was
complaining about them too. Some of the lines must have been fixed by
testparm before I ran it myself. I believe it is all correct now.
Despite this, I still have the same problem.
I tested using the smb.conf file from my previous 9.1 install which did
work, no difference (except the folder names appear different on the
windows machine), still get the same "disk full" or "memory full"
outcomes from the windows machine. (and yes I am restarting samba each
time I make these changes)
Same outcome if I go through the users/roger (where I have a link to the
same files) folder rather than through the data folder.
This all seems to be pointing to an issue with something other than
smb.conf then?
here's the tail output of log.smbd on opening and saving to a txt file:
[2005/09/09 11:57:08, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(642)

here's opening a file that won't save:
[2005/09/09 12:04:34, 1] smbd/service.c:make_connection_snum(642)
aquarius (192.168.1.65) signed connect to service software initially

aquarius (192.168.1.65) closed connection to service users
Basically identical. At the point of attempting to save that file,
nothing added to the log file. But nor is anything added when the first
file is successfully written to.
Does this help? Any further ideas?

Have you looked in the log file? The naming is dependent on your distro, but
they are commonly called smbd.log amd nmbd.log - its likely the
forme one is what you want.
go to /var/log then
find|grep smbd should find the log file. run it through tail -f and
watch what happens when you go to save a file.
Which share is causing the problem or is it the same with all shares?
Also I note that some of your options use the "-" instead of "=", for
example in [data] you have "Writable - Yes" - I think it should be
"witeable = yes"
Try running testparm, it tests your smb.conf for internal correctness.
It is a command line tool.

Hi, I have had this new install of suse 9.3 running nicely for a while.
I have set up some samba shares and can browse them from a windows
machine on the network however something is not right with it.
I can open a spreadsheet but NOT save any changes, the message in excel
is "the disk is full". I can create a new txt file and save changes to
it with no problem. I can create a new excel file, open it, but not
save changes ("the disk is full"). Similarly with a word document
though attempting to save it produces a variety of error messages
including "the disk is full or too many files open" or memory error
messages. I can delete any of these created files.
The problem appears to be more than a simple read/write issue and has me
stumped. Can anyone help?
Cheers,
Roger
