SAMBA problem with XP clients

**netninja2001** · 10-19-2010

Hello everyone,

I've got a problem with XP clients being able to write files to a SAMBA share running on Fedora Core 7. I've attached my smb.conf file and a screenshot of what I get when I try to copy and paste any files to the share. By the way, I can create a file, as long as it stays empty, but as soon as I try to save it with any data, it says there's no space (which is obvious from the screenshot that there is plenty). Thanks for any help!

EDIT - Ok, I can't paste a link to it so if the next poster can, I would appreciate it. The address is: www . jarvistek . com/client/screenshots/error.bmp

#======================= Global Settings =====================================

Code:

[global]

# ------------------------- ZTAPE Options -------------------------
	blocking locks = no
	local master = no
	block size = 4096
	create mask = 0777
	directory mask = 0777
	csc policy = disable
	deadtime = 10
	dfree cache time = 10
	oplocks = False
	level2 oplocks = False

# ----------------------- Netwrok Related Options -------------------------
#
# workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name, eg: MIDEARTH
#
# server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
#
# netbios name can be used to specify a server name not tied to the hostname
#
# Interfaces lets you configure Samba to use multiple interfaces
# If you have multiple network interfaces then you can list the ones
# you want to listen on (never omit localhost)
#
# Hosts Allow/Hosts Deny lets you restrict who can connect, and you can
# specifiy it as a per share option as well
#
	workgroup = workgroup
	server string = Samba Server Version %v

# --------------------------- Logging Options -----------------------------
#
# Log File let you specify where to put logs and how to split them up.
#
# Max Log Size let you specify the max size log files should reach

	# logs split per machine
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	# max 50KB per log file, then rotate, was 50
	max log size = 50

# ----------------------- Standalone Server Options ------------------------
#
# Security can be set to user, share(deprecated) or server(deprecated)
#
# Backend to store user information in. New installations should 
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards 
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.

	security = share
	passdb backend = *****

# --------------------------- Printing Options -----------------------------
#
# Load Printers let you load automatically the list of printers rather
# than setting them up individually
#
# Cups Options let you pass the cups libs custom options, setting it to raw
# for example will let you use drivers on your Windows clients
#
# Printcap Name let you specify an alternative printcap file
#
# You can choose a non default printing system using the Printing option

;	load printers = yes
	cups options = raw

;	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	#obtain list of printers automatically on SystemV
;	printcap name = lpstat
;	printing = cups

# --------------------------- Filesystem Options ---------------------------
#
# The following options can be uncommented if the filesystem supports
# Extended Attributes and they are enabled (usually by the mount option
# user_xattr). Thess options will let the admin store the DOS attributes
# in an EA and make samba not mess with the permission bits.
#
# Note: these options can also be set just per share, setting them in global
# makes them the default for all shares

;	map archive = no
;	map hidden = no
;	map read only = no
;	map system = no
;	encrypt passwords = yes
	guest ok = yes
	guest account = root
;	store dos attributes = yes


#============================ Share Definitions ==============================

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	browseable = no
	writable = yes
;	valid users = %S
;	valid users = MYDOMAIN\%S

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	browseable = no
;	guest ok = no
;	writable = No
	printable = yes

[pictron-share]
	comment = Samba Share Folder
	path = /pictron-share
	writeable = yes
	guest ok = yes

No idea what your problem is but you shouldn't make the guest account as root, very dangerous

**netninja2001** · 10-19-2010

I know, but unfortunately this is how it was set up from the vendor (whom we're no longer dealing with). In either case root should work (I'll worry about securing the thing once it actually works, in the meantime this server is on a vlan that only talks to one computer all in a development sandbox).

**F1Fish** · 10-22-2010

For my users I use the following under Share Definitions.

Code:

[smb_share]
path = /home/smb_share
force group = 
writable = yes
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770
comment = Share Directory For All Users

On the sever make sure the [smb_share] is owned by the group or user.
I had funny read write errors with this.

Check the Samba group/user permission.

Ok, I tried that and still no go. I have expanded logging to level 3 and have a bunch of data, but don't know what it means. I did see in there is an "NT status disk full" error and I think that's where the problem lies. I've also added the smbstatus output in case that can help anyone in figuring out what I've got going on here.

EDIT - I just tried this with one of our servers and it seems to have gotten further... I was able to copy and paste it, but the contents ended up being empty. So Win Server 2003 seems to be able to at least get past the NT_STATUS_DISK_FULL error, but then gets tied up elsewhere. I've pasted a log of that transaction as well below in order to give additional info.

Run testparm on the samba server.

Are you using quotas for your users?

I ran testparm and this was the output:

As for quotas, this was delivered to us by a vendor "pre-configured" so I didn't set any of the initial settings. As far as I know, there shouldn't be any quotas since this was supposed to be a massive store for video data.

EDIT - I also ran smbcquotas on the share and got this output:

Code:

I couldn't figure out what syntax to use to display "vfs default quota", but I don't think it would have been set.

**F1Fish** · 10-26-2010

Your testparm does not show a workgroup. If this is on purpose that’s fine.

If your system is running VFS modules then vfs default quota will come into play.

“vfs default quota" stores Windows quota in samba.

There should be a line in smb.conf

Vfs objects =

Is your test user a member of a group?
If so what are your group permission?
They should be 0777 for a guest account directory.

Here my testparm shares output
[Z]
path = /home/z
force group = z
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770

[RECOV]
path = /home/recov
force group = recov
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770

[x]
path = /home/x
force group = z
read only = No
create mask = 0770
directory mask = 0770

all shares are listed by the group and owned by the group.

Aquarium:/# ls -la /home
total 44
drwxrwx--- 8 root recov 4096 2010-09-14 09:16 recov
drwxrwx--- 18 root z 4096 2010-10-26 14:45 x
drwxrwx--- 19 kids z 4096 2010-10-25 16:47 z

My best guess to your problem is quotas and or permissions.
