[feby]

Hello,
I'm posting this here first because i don't know if this is a bug or i'm doing something wrong... So here it goes...
I have SME 7.2 at my office and i've share a hdd of 1TB onto my lan. The problem is that in windows... there is share only 243GB space of which free space is only 187 GB.
How do i fix this or what is wrong with it ?!?!?!

Hi

Well if you created an Ibay for this drive you would have to mount the 1TB drive to this path eg

1. Create an Ibay called bigdisk.
2. Mount this drive to /home/e-smith/files/ibays/bigdisk/files

You should see all the space....


Do a search on the forum on how to add a Hard Drive to your SME server...the above is just a quick over view..

i've created an ibay and i've made a symlink to it in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/bigdisk/ and with that linked like that i have the problem i forgot to mention it

You cannot symlink, you need to mount it to the ibay

10x it worked... i understand right now why that was happening... symlink gives a virtual link and the space used was actualy the one that the system is installed on.
