Insuffecient Quota with Samba 2.0.7 and Win2k

[Gary McNickle]

    I have a Redhat Linux 7 machine running Samba 2.07 for file server
access only.  Samba is setup to use our NT server (4 w/sp6) as the primary
domain controller to validate accounts on.

    Fine, this is all working dandy. Except that for some odd reason, when
some of our Win2k clients are accessing the file server, they will
occasionally get an "Insufficient Quota" error.  Now, admittedly, I have no
idea if it is samba or Win2k that is causing this, but some points;

1: This only happens with clients running win2k
2: This only happens when they are attempting to save data to the samba
share
3: Neither our NT server (the pdc), nor the samba server are setup to use
file quotas

    Curiously, only two (of the oh, 20+) of our Win2k clients have reported
this problem, both artists.  One says it only happens when they are in
3dMax, the other says it only happens in Photoshop. (They both use both
tools).

    If any one has any insight into why this may be happening, I would
greatly appreciate it.


Sincerely,
