Samba installed on pinkv2 - has been working fine - transferfiles from Win7 to the mounted drives. Now when I try to transfer I get an error only 124mb left? I have unmounted through pogoplug interface, deleted the .ceid and .cedata files. Unplugged pogo, remounted drives, restarted samba - nothing

please help

Probably a samba problem:

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-server-73/samba-share-reporting...

Depends on what is your share path in smb.conf for your samba share. is it /tmp or /tmp/.cemnt (both of which are ~126MB on a pinky)? Instead of /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1? or whatever you data transfer drive is mounted to.

this is what I have;
[ShareAll]
comment = Test share
path = /tmp/ .cemnt
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0777
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

do I need to list all drives ie mnt_sda1, mnt_sdb1 etc etc
or do I just change the line to read:
path = /tmp/ .cemnt/mnt_sda1

I also noticed I have a space between / and .cemnt and your note did not?

Ok bubajoe, I remember you now, you used http://www.ctrlaltdeleted.com/?p=3 to modify your plug http://www.pogoplugged.com/forum/thread/16257/unable-to-edit-smb.conf-file/ . So the size that is being reported is for /tmp/.cemnt where if you do "df -h" is probably 124 MB free. So if you had a 2 TB drive attached ot /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb1 or whatever, because your share path is at /tmp instead of the drive itself, it will always report 124 MB until you fill up your 2 TB drive with files less than 124 MB each and then it will be less than 124 MB. So to have it report the actual size of the drive, then change the share path in your smb file to the actual drive itself.

Edit:
Type "df -h", you'll figure it out.

There is no space between / and .cemnt.  Weren't you the guy I went over with on this point a while back?  I'm starting to lose track.  You have to use the actual path of the drive you want to share so "path=/tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1" or "path=/tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb1".  Like I said earlier, "df -h" will tell you which one.

This is just an example of your system, use it at your own risk, no warranty implied:

[ShareA]
comment = Share A drive
path = /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sda1
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0777
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

[ShareB]
comment = Share B drive
path = /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdb1
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0777
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

[ShareC]
comment = Share C drive
path = /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdc1
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0777
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes

[ShareD]
comment = Share D drive
path = /tmp/.cemnt/mnt_sdd1
available = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
printable = no
create mask = 0777
guest ok = yes
browseable = yes
