Shared drive on Linux Host is "full" when it's not...

Post by thesun »

Hi, I'm running Win 7 Guest on a Fedora Host. I've set up two shared drives /my/home/directory and /an/external/usb/drive. They show up as E: and F: in Windows, and I can access and view the files, but I can't save to them. I get a "disk is full" error, when I know there's plenty of space on the drives. I'm guessing it's a permissions error and I need to set that somehow...but how?

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You need to provide how you setup the share, and some information of the actual share before anyone can actually help.
A disk full error is usually *not* permissions though.

I set up the share by going to Settings, then adding it in the Shared drive section and selecting "permanent" and "automount." Are there other things I should check?
