Disk is Full

[Davideo]

Hello,

I am running a Windows network and I just converted my DNS-323 over to firmware is Alt-F-0.1RC3, kernel 2.6.35.14.

I have one 4TB Seagate drive in the unit and I have configured it to EXT4.  It says I have about 3.6TB of usable space.

I followed the Folder Access from Windows procedure posted in this group.

I created the folder mnt\Volume_1\ , gave it permissions,  and made it browseable as my place to store all my files.

So all set to start copying over my data.  The process starts fine, but when it reaches around 29MB of data on the DNS-323 it gives me the error message:

"Disk is Full"

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, and I have looked to see if there was a setting for folder size quotas, but I did not find one.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your help,

Dave.

Wow! the first 4TB disk reported.

Have you used the Disk Wizard? Disk Partitioner? How have you exactly set it up?

 

 It says I have about 3.6TB of usable space.

Where does it says that?

Can you please take a screenshot of the Status Page, Filesystem Maintenence  and Disk Partitioner?

Where does that message appears? In the Status Page? On the windows computer?

Dave solved the minor issue by himself and sent me this screenshot:

I have the same problem as Dave with my 4TB drive. It appears in Windows Explorer as a network drive under Computer, where it's listed with a 29.9 MB capacity instead of 3.6 TB as it should. My disk partitioner looks exactly the same as Dave's screen dump. I cannot get access to the other terabytes of storage.

If Dave solved his problem and now has full drive capacity available, I wasn't able to figure it out from the replies. What was the solution?

Many thanks,

Hi Mike,

I should have followed up with a public post on this one.  

When I was setting this up for the first time I realized (in my haste) that I did not notice I was trying to write to sda1 and not sda2.  

As you can see form the above screenshot sda2 is where all the room is.  You can check your own in the Disk | Partitioner menu.

Under Setup | Folders have a look at which partition you have set up for your main storage.  It should be on sda2 not sda1.  After that it was smooth sailing for me.

Thanks, Dave! That was my mistake exactly. I went back to Samba Setup, changed the folder, and everything is fixed.

Now that I know everything works well with a 4TB drive, I'm going to order a second.

Hi - I seem to be having the same problem as discussed here (with tiny 500 GB drives) - but I can't see where it says whether I'm trying to use sda1 or sda2.  When I try to copy into the Public folder, I'm getting an exceeded quota message.  Is this the same issue?  Thanks - sorry to be obtuse1 - John

Use  Services->Network->smb, Configure to see that (or post a screenshot; a screenshot of the Status page also help).
