samba share and free size check: doesn't work in some situations
Last modified: 2008-09-06 19:05:23 UTC
Please describe the problem: The problem is inside the free space check of a device in gnome when you try to write something in a device. If you mount a 0 free space folder with samba within folders with mounted devices and you try to write in something. Nautilus gives you not enogh space Steps to reproduce: 1. Share a folder with 0 free space with samba 2. in that folder we have directory with mounted usb devices with free space 3. mount on a remote machine the shared folder 4. try to copy inside the usb devices something 5. nautilus gives not enough space 6. try with a xterm (or another vt) ... it works without problems Actual results: only the 'no enough space' Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes all the times Other information:
It'll be very usefull to could deactive the free space check in nautilus. I find that problem working on Thinclient with the root tree all in read-only memory
Alessandro: ramfs has similar issues (bug 148297). How did you mount the samba share, using the kernel VFS, or using GnomeVFS?
Created attachment 62896 [details] statfs.c - a statfs testing utility The attached program allows you to print the statfs output for an arbitrary path for debugging purposes.
gnome-vfs has been deprecated and superseded by gio/gvfs since GNOME 2.22, hence mass-closing many of the gnome-vfs requests/bug reports. This means that gnome-vfs is NOT actively maintained anymore, however patches are still welcome. If your reported issue is still valid for gio/gvfs, please feel free to file a bug report against glib/gio or gvfs. @Bugzilla mail recipients: query for gnome-vfs-mass-close to get rid of these notification emails all together. General further information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GVFS Reasons behind this decision are listed at http://www.mail-archive.com/gnome-vfs-list@gnome.org/msg00899.html
