[Samba] Samba Share of NFS filesystem

[Ulrich Bernhard]

On a local disk with quota the 'over quota' error occured while writing 
to that disk and the windows box reports the error as 'disk is full'.
A local copy on the linux server to a local filesystem with quota (/data 
is on that filesystem):
cp /tmp/large-file /data
cp: writing `/data/large-file': Disk quota exceeded

Writing on the linux server to the nfs filesystem the 'over quota' error 
occured whis the close (the /home/rzubu directory is on the nfs filesystem):
cp /tmp/large-file /home/rzubu
cp: closing `/home/rzubu/large-file': Disk quota exceeded

Sorry I do not have other nfs mounted filesystems with quota.

Thanks

Ulrich
