I tried the quota option, that did the trick!
thank you! Carlos

Your problem is the following...
OS X 10.3.x can't cope with seeing Samba shares that are larger than 2 TB. If the Mac sees anything larger, in the "info" listing on the share, it will tell you the true size (i.e., 2.8 TB), but then it will tell you there is 0 space left.
Don't get me started on what a piece of (fill in the blank) Macs are for networking. And Netatalk is no picnic either. You'll have the same problem with large shares and AFP.
Anyway, the solution is to either:
a) partition your hard drive so that any given share can't have more than 2 TB of space
or
b) use quotas, and set the quota for the user or group that owns the share to be smaller than 2 TB.
I use option b. Works like a charm. Took me about 4 months to realize this was the problem. Hope I can save you some headaches and heartaches.

Hi,
We are having a problem between Linux 2.6.9-prep #12 SMP Mon Dec 6 12:08:34 CST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Samba version 3.0.9-1.fc3)
and
MAC OS X 10.3.5 Samba version 3.0.0rc2
Basically the issue is that the Mac reports the Linux share as being full, and won't allow files to be copied.
We are able to work around it using this method: Create a folder on the Linux share with the same name as the folder to be copied from MAC. Then when you try copy and paste, it will let you select "Replace".
Here's what I'm getting with the DF command:
Linux server with plenty of free space:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# df -H Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg00-lv00 5.0T 2.3T 2.8T 45% /home
Macs with mounted Linux drive shows erroneous drive space:
[cinemac:/sbin] root# df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail
Capacity Mounted on
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SOURCE 602G 2.2T -1.6T 365% /Volumes/Source
sincityedit:/Volumes/source root# df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail
Capacity Mounted on
//[EMAIL PROTECTED]/SOURCE 602G 2.2T -1.6T 365% /Volumes/source
Windows mapped drive to Linux shows correct free space:
Directory of Y:\
03/22/2005 09:51a <DIR> . 12/30/2004 10:00a <DIR> .. 03/22/2005 10:16a <DIR> _Admin
0 File(s) 0 bytes 3 Dir(s) 2,765,958,938,624 bytes free
I'm not sure what I can do to isolate the problem. Can you give me some advice?
Thanks, Carlos
