Samba Issue On C3000 (only)
« on: February 02, 2005, 12:44:45 pm »
Hi,

I just discovered a limitation of the C3000 SMB installation (which is not found on a SL5500 or C860).

When accessing the Zaurus - from a Macintosh - through SMB over TCP/IP, I get the indication that there is just room for approx. 2 MByte - and that even for the Install_Files.

The reason is that samba shares the folder /home/samba and returns the size of the drive this file is sitting on (/dev/mtdblock3 - try 'df /home/samba' on the Zaurus). It seems to be ignored that /home/samba/ contains a symbolic link

Code: [Select]
# ls -l /home/samba
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     qpe            22 Feb  2 18:16 Internal_Disk -> /home/zaurus/Documents

to plenty of space:

Code: [Select]
# df /home/samba/Internal_Disk
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              3478852    767628   2711224  22% /hdd3

What I don't know yet is if it is really the Zaurus to blame - it could also be the Mac which simply might forget to ask the Zaurus for the correct size of a subdirectory...
