[Samba] Free space/capacity displayed as garbage...

[webster at lexmark.com]

Indeed, the freespace reported may not always be correct.

However, what you relay is not what I'm seeing on any of my Samba servers.
If I have 'max disk size = 10000', the freespace seen from my Windows 
clients is 10GB, until the actual freespace drops below that, when they 
then see the actual freespace (ie. 2GB) ...

Hi,

Thanks for the reponse.
I tried it, but that's not the correct solution. I've set it to 10 GB and 
then it always says that there is 10 GB free, even if
there is only 2 GB free. At least, it doesn't display as garbage anymore, 
but it's not correct.


Regards,
Marc
