Jeremy,

Sorry about that.  Let me try this again.  I stepped into the vfswrap_write
call where the actual write call is made and where the errno is set for
larger files and it isn't set for small files.  That write is returning the
number written, but the errno isn't set.

I decided to walk through the code when win2k actually displays the error.
The main difference is that the call in reply.c being made is the
reply_write_and_X and NT is coming in through the reply_write call.  win2k
makes the write call which finally gets to the vfs_write_data function.
This writes as much data as the disk will allow and then returns.  At this
point, errno is 0.  Since it hasn't written all its data yet, it makes
another call to write.  At this point the return is -1 and the errno is set
to EDQUOT.  

So in vfs_allocate_file_space we error out if the write wasn't big enough.
The way I read it, we need to call it till we get a return of 0 or -1 to
work with the way errno is being set.  
 
With all this, I'm still not getting an error, but as you can see from the
level 10 log (with all Matt's acl stuff turned off), I am getting the
correct errno now.

As for getting you an ssh onto the box that's failing, it won't happen. It
is on a completely internal network.  I can't even get an ssh to it from my
desk.  Sorry. 

If I can send you anymore information, let me know.  If you would like to
see backtraces or something else from gdb, it can definately be arranged.

Thanks ever so much,

Cary
