Samba share size

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,
I have a Pi3 with Dietpi OS. There is a samba share on a mounted external HDD. HDD size is 320GB, the df -h shows 70% usage meaning there should be some 90 GB available. Using a W10 machine i have checked the above and it is correct.
However when i try to copy file to this share a disk full message shows up and i am not able to copy any file. What is the reason:? Is there a solution?
Thanks

are you sure you switched Samba home directory to your HDD?

3

Yes i did. The files are accessible through the network. Only the size is the issue.

4

how large is the file you are trying to copy?

Can you share some more information

Required

  • DietPi version | cat /boot/dietpi/.version
  • Distro version | echo $G_DISTRO_NAME $G_RASPBIAN
  • Kernel version | uname -a
  • SBC model | echo $G_HW_MODEL_NAME or (EG: RPi3)

and following

lsblk -o name,fstype,label,size,ro,type,mountpoint,partuuid,uuid
df -h
cat /etc/samba/smb.conf | grep path

once the issue happen, can you check logs

cat /var/log/samba/log.smbd

Thanks for handling my issue…
The file to be transfered is 7,78MB

Just out of interesst, why did you create so many different exports? One for /mnt/USB_HDD should have been enough. Isn’t it?

7

i use several media players: 2 TV and 2 Volumio. So not to be confused, but yes i thought already to reorganize it

8

just for testing. Could you remove all exports and just leave the one for the folder /mnt/USB_HDD ?

9

So i did. It seems to me that Urbackupsrv caused the problem by creating an enormous number of files that actually took ages to delete. Thanks for the help.

ah ok, means there where quite some space used by hidden files?
