[linux-cifs-client] Size Reporting

[Shannon Johnson]

I hate to bother everyone if this is something that's been discussed
before, but I haven't found any reference to it in my searches of the
archives.

 

I've got several machines accessing a central server via cifs. The
server sees each individual directory as one size, but the clients all
see a much larger size. For instance, on a brand-new skeleton home
directory, the size on the server is 72k, while the clients report the
size as 500m. There are about 1000 files in there, but none over 1k in
size. 

 

I'm running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4, fully updated, and both
exhibit the same problem.

 

I'm not much of a developer, so I don't know the technical details, but
if there's anything I should try, let me know.
