Samba mounted holding disks....
Author Message
Post Samba mounted holding disks.... 
The holding disk on our backup server died a couple of weeks ago and we
have yet to get the replacement for it installed so for the last couple
of weeks we've been dumping the backups which would normally go to the
holding disk to a windows partition on a workstation (one of a couple
with enough diskspace to do this). This appears to be running normally
without problems except that amcheck always reports a problem which
"Should be fixed before run, if possible."
The problem is that amcheck will report either 0 KB free, or some
negative value because the partition which the samba share is mounted to
has less than the amount of space to be left on that partition.
When amdump runs however, no problems occur.
Is there any way to get rid of these messages until we get the new drive
installed? (which we 'll leave until the share is full enough to amflush)

A setup that is kind of special ;)

How did you mount the smb-share? smbfs, cifs?
Is there anything else inside the share? (Should not ...)
I assume that amcheck is not able to determine the actual free space
on that share.

Permissions on the mountpoint?

You could patch amcheck.c to remove the line that prints the WARNING.
Somewhat brutal, but effective.
