SMB - not enough disk space error msg

Postby permitivity » Mon Jan 20, 2014 12:37 am

Hi,
I have Pogoplug running Arch Linux Arm, with SMB. There's a USB hard drive connected to the Pogoplug, and I can access the files on the drive.

When I go to save large number of large files from my PC to the Pogoplug's shared drive via Windows explorer, I get an error message:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')here is not enough diskspace on XXXX. You need an additional 141GB to copy these files


But I know there is enough disk space because when I df -h using putty, I see almost 1TB free.

Additionally, if I copy one of the folders individually, it'll go ahead any copy it, but it tells me that there is already a file with that name, and asks me if I want to replace it. It's as if the initial copy attempt for the entire 141GB of content somehow made Arch register the file names into the destination folder, but not actually copy over the files.


The drive is formatted ntfs...I know many recommend ext format...

1) space issue might be because you are sharing under the mount point, not the folder containing that NTFS mount itself.
2) NTFS is known to have combination issues when used with Samba, in exactly this result.
