Subject: [wwwac] Linux says my 80GB drive is full, and it ain't
OK, here's the situation:
I've got a Linux box & a Win2K box on my home network. Samba is working
fine & dandy. I buy a brand spanking new hard drive to add to the Linux
box - Western Digital 80GB. I add the hd, format it as one big ol' 80 GB
partition using ext2, and it all works fine. I set Samba up so the Win2k
box can see it. Fine.
Here's the relevant line in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/music ext2 auto,user,rw 0 0
And here's the relevant lines in Samba (although I don't think that's
where the problem is):
[music]
comment = Shared Music
browseable = yes
writable = yes
path = /mnt/music
public = yes
force create mode = 0777
force directory mode = 0777
force user = rsgranne
Now, I begin loading mp3's & ogg's on the new drive. Lots and lots and
lots of mp3s & oggs. However, both Windows via Samba & Linux won't let
me install any more files. Windows says that the drive has maxed out at
25GB, while Linux just says "Cannot add more files. Disk full". Both are
reporting that an 80Gb drive is out of space. Wha?
But when I run the following in Linux:
du -ch /mnt/music
I get back this:
18G total
So Windows thinks there's 25GB on there and it's full. Linux thinks
there's 18GB on there and it's full. Either way, something's screwy.
What did I do wrong? What do I do now? This is driving me nuts.
Thanks for any help.
Scott
