[Samba] semaphore timeoit period expired (root is full)

[Martyn Ranyard]

Hi there,

   I can't tell you what is clogging up your root directory, but I can tell 
you how to find out!

   Use "du" - it will give a nice readout of disk usage of directories.

   Also, I am not a BSD user, so cannot say if this is a standard tool with 
bsd, but it is a gnu util from the fileutils group.

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
