Is there some limit on the size of a file system which can
be shared via samba? I'm trying to set up a file server
with a 100GB shared partition and it doesn't want to work.
I'm running Fedora Core 4, and Samba Version 3.0.14a-2.
The output from testparm looks like this:
[root at stitch samba]# testparm
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[printers]"
Processing section "[haldisk]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE

# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = HOME
server string = Stitch
null passwords = Yes
log level = 1
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
hosts allow = 192.168.1., 127.
cups options = raw
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
read only = No
browseable = No
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[haldisk]
path = /opt/data
write list = harold
read only = No
guest ok = Yes
This works OK. the /opt filesystem is only 5 Gb in size. If I
simply change the line "path = /opt/data" to "path = /bigdisk/data"
where the /bigdisk file system is 100GB is size, and restart smb,
all attempts to connect to the file system give the following
error on the windows box (smb name is piglet)
"\\stitch\haldisk is not accessable"
"The Network Name cannot be found"
and the following errors appear in /var/log/samba/piglet.log
[2005/06/24 10:15:58, 0] lib/util_sock.c:read_socket_data(384)

(log level = 1, anything higher and I get far too many message to
digest)
The file systems in question look like this:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 505636 146754 332777 31% /
/dev/hdc1 505604 14287 465213 3% /boot

/dev/mapper/VG0-LV07 101573920 94280 96236760 1% /bigdisk
Hardware consists of two 200Gb Western Digital drives in a
software raid1 configuration. The Linux LVM is used to create
the file systems on the defined raid device.
I have spent the last two days searching the web for anything which
might explain this. Any ideas why this strange behavior? Anything
else you need to see?
Thanks for any help you can provide.
