Jeremy,

Ok, here is my setup:

- Red Hat Linux 7.1, kernel 2.4.3-12
- samba cvs source, SAMBA_2_2 tag
- compiled: --with-pam --with-quotas --with-winbind
- client: only tested with w2k sp1 clients
- ext2 filesystem. Here goes general info on this partition:

Some time ago I posted a question (thread 'disk space in use by files') in
the main samba mail list with some examples of the problem. Here goes 2 of
them:

Several files:
Size: 48,3 MB (50.684.825 bytes)
Size on Disk: 152 MB (159.383.552 bytes)
Contains: 111 Files, 16 Folders

One small file:
Size: 378 bytes (378 bytes)
Size on Disk: 1,00 MB (1.048.576 bytes)

Anything else, just ask!

cheers
Gustavo
