Hi, I'm trying to implement file system quotas on a Debian Woody Linux box. My problem is that W2k Explorer silently truncates files when going over quota by copying files. Other applications work as expected and show a "disk full" error message. To me it looks like the error code for "over quota" is not propagated back from samba to Windows Explorer. I've tried with all combinations of Linux kernel 2.4.18, latest 2.4-ac, samba-2.2.3a-12 (from woody) and a debian source package 2.2.8a reconfigured --with-quota. I've not yet used a newer quota package. I've found some descriptions of the problem, but no workaround. I understand that samba supports only v2 version quotas (from the -ac kernel series and maybe latest 2.4-marcelo's-pre). I'm not asking for support of network drives size set to quotas. A "dfree command" can easily do that. BTW: What's the status of quota support in Samba 3? What I really want are quotas per samba share, independend of the OS. Thank you very much.
