samba - Feb 2009 - Problem sharing a directory which contains other mountpoints

Hi,

 

Here is my problem :

On a server we have a directory, /data, shared with Samba. In this directory, we
have two mountpoints : mp300 which contains a 300GB filesystem, and mp500 which
contains 500GB filesystem.

 

So we have :

|----data 

      |-------mp300 => 300GB

      |-------mp500 => 500GB

 

and /data is shared wich Samba.

 

On Windows, if we try to put many files, a example 30GB, in /data/mp300 (or
/data/mp500), Windows says there isn't enough free space : it reports the
free space on /data, which is on the root directory, so it reports only free
space of the root shared directory, and it doesn't see the free 300GB ou
500GB of the mountpoints included.

 

Is it possible to make Samba report free space of each subfolders (mounted), and
not from the root shared directory ?

 

Cordialement,

Mount them in windows as 2 different drives or use dfs on the samba
server (not 100% sure if that works).

Look at the "dfree command" smb.conf option.
