Angry hard disc space (and samba?)


i got samba up and running and was transferring files from win2k to one of my samba user accounts. then was told "disc full". so i rebooted 2k and logged in as another samba user. same problem. rebooted again and logged in as root.. a little more space but not nearly as much as i first had. my first attempt allowed me to transfer over 5600mgb. and since then, none (or practically none). the hard dirve redhat is on is 30gb. i should think it would be far from full somehwere as other than the files i transferred, theres nothing there but the OS itself (disc 1 and 2, to be exact). where is the problem and what can i do to transfer more files from win2k to redhat? any ideas? thank you very much

More input :}

Like: did you partition your hd?

the output of a df -m would be helpful.

Cheers,

k:

filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Use% mountOn

/dev/hda5 372 95 258 27% /
/dev/hda1 45 14 29 31% /boot
/dev/hda3 7227 6770 90 99% /home
none 125 0 124 0% dev/shm
/dev/hda2 19766 1732 17030 10% /usr
/dev/hda7 251 194 44 82% /var

when i installed i told it to erase all partitions and installed only RH 7.3.

here's what happened that i found strange: logged in as bill moved files over until disc got full. rebooted 2k logged in as hank, "disc full" error. logged in linux as root, moved files from bill home to hank home. logged back in on 2k as hank"and still got "disc full". rebooted 2k logged into samba account as root and did get some more space but not nearly what i thought should've been. i think thats it

one thing that's happening

you said you moved the files, but you did not move them to another partition. You just renamed them from /home/bill/* /home/hank/* which will not give you any space

/root is a different partition
