[Samba] Calculating file size.
Hello! As it happens I am having some real nightmares with this too. Using NETGEAR ND520 NAS devices [Yes! I know - rod for own back...] But the fact it is a Linux device sold me ahead of a W2K Appliance Win2K reports: Folder #1 19,969 Files, 1578 folders Size: 2.36Gb S-O-D: 11.3Gb Notes: This is a user's 'Home Drive' Lots of disparate files Directories Folder #2 15,151 Files, 595 folders Size: 292Mb S-O-D: 7.54Gb Notes: As above Folder #3 114 Files, 1 folder Size: 857Mb S-O-D: 895Mb Notes: JAVA developer's archive - all but one are ZIP files Sure, I'll be obseleting these NAS soon but my plan was to build a custom Linux Samba server to handle the task. Now I'm not so sure -DG IT Manager ISV -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
RE: [Samba] Calculating file size.
OK. Maybe the 'not-so-sure' was a bit provocative on this list. G As I can't afford a 'Filer', Samba is ~obviously~ my best option. WinXP reports the same figures though - maybe the answer is another DLT drive direct onto the (New-Improved!) Samba box; rather than mapping drives to the W2K backup server. Nevertheless, the sizes can't be *real* - according to the stats my drive is 3 times bigger than it was when I bought it! Point taken on the journaling FS. Can anyone compare small file performance between RH ext3 and ReiserFS? Made me think - thanks for the input -DG -Original Message- From: Jose Luis Tallon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 18 June 2003 6:06 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Samba] Calculating file size.
