Comment 20 for bug 264943

I hate to be wet blanket, but I still have problems with samba/smbfs under Intrepid. I installed the samba files from Thierry's ppa repository. Nautilus indeed now lets me see and list the contents of my Iomega 500 GB Home Network Hard Drive and copy files from the drive to my Intrepid desktop. However, I can't write any files to the drive using Nautilus and SMB/CIFS or via ftp. I tried using smbclient in a terminal to "put" a test file onto the NAS drive and this is the output:

ross@ubuntu-test:~$ smbclient //192.168.0.198/ubuntu
Enter ross's password:
Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[R] Server=[R]
smb: \> put /home/ross/Desktop/test.file test.file
Error writing file: ERRHRD - 39 putting file /home/ross/Desktop/test.file as \test.file Receiving SMB: Server stopped responding Call returned zero bytes (EOF) closing remote file \test.file
smb: \>

The same test under Hardy from a laptop results in this successful output:

ross@ross-laptop:~$ smbclient //192.168.0.198/ubuntu
Password:
Domain=[MSHOME] OS=[R] Server=[R]
smb: \> put /home/ross/Desktop/test.file test.file
putting file /home/ross/Desktop/test.file as \test.file (135.9 kb/s) (average 135.9 kbs)
smb: \>

So something is still wrong with Samba, at least on my Intrepid desktop. I am going to revert back to release Samba package for Intrepid and see what smbclient does and see if I can at least get ftp to the NAS working again.

Any thoughts? BTW, the Nautilus error that gets thrown up when I try to write a file with the new Samba installed is:

Error while copying "test.file".
There was an error copying the file into smb://192.168.0.198/ubuntu/.

No space left on device.

Maybe that is how Nautilus interprets ERRHRD -39 ? The NAS disk is 500GB with lots of room.

Ideas?
