Subject: [Samba] Free space calculation gets it wrong
Hello!
Running Samba 3.x on HP-UX 11.00, Linux and Solaris.
I've got a problem with the free space calculation of Samba. The problem is, that Samba only seems to return the free space available in the top directory of a share and not the free space available in the current directory. That's a problem for me, since I share a directory on the server and then mount the actual "stuff" into it.
Let me give you an example:
I shared the directory "/Shares" on "server" with the name "Shares". The directory /Shares is on / on the server. In "/Shares", there's the directory "CAD". This directory is a seperate file system. Now I start the Windows Explorer (from Windows XP) and go to \\server\Shares\CAD. The free space available is the same as shown in \\server\Shares - IOW: it shows the free space from /, and not from /Shares/CAD
Directory Mountpoint Free space /Shares / 20MiB /Shares/CAD /Shares/CAD 40GiB
Going to \\server\Shares\CAD shows me that 20MiB is available and not, as wanted, 40GiB.
What do I have to do, to make Samba return the free space in the current directory and not from the top most directory of the share?
First, I thought to write a script which I hook into the "dfree command" option of Samba. But sadly this did not work :( Just like the man page says, the script is only given "./" as the first (and only) parameter. I also did not see anything of interest in the environment (as printed by the "env" command). I don't quite see how to get to what directory "./" (the current directory) is referring.
Do you have any clues on how to solve that problem?
BTW: Also sharing /Shares/CAD is not a solution I'm after :)
Thanks a lot,
