Samba share free space reported as root partitition
 

Hi all,

When I map a Windows Drive to my Samba share, Windows reports the free space as the free space on my root partition.

Windows reports "There is not enough space on vtk (\\10.194.138.50) You need an additional 595 MB to copy these files when copying to /usr/dbnobkp/vtk. If I add space to root, the copy works fine, but I don't want to keep adding space to root so large files can be copied to file systems that already have enough space.

Thanks!

Why are you mapping your entire root partition as a share?

As mount shows, you only need to add space to /dev/fslv05 as your attempting to write to the directory it's mounted on.
