Now I'm really confused.
I got all perms and ownership set for my Samba directory. I had a bunch of small test files on the samba share. I started a backup and saw there's only 4GB of space, not 111GB or so that's really there. I remember this from last install but no recollection how I fixed it. So I stop the backup and decide to reboot the Linux server.
Now I see 9 GB available, better but still not right... wait...NOW I see all my previously missing backup files! Where were they all this time? The ownership has changed to the owner I previously used for samba directory on the old install. I forgot that this user was what I used, and set up the new samba install with another user. All my test files are gone however, which I created with the new user account. Where did they go? Why couldn't root see these files before? Because they were created using Samba?
The only thing I changed other than ownership was I had since added all Linux users as samba users (in Webmin|Servers|Samba), which included the user I had used for samba with the old Mandrake 9.2 install. But I did this hours ago, and these files didn't appear until I rebooted. This is really confusing. Thanks for listening...
Can someone explain what occurred here?
