Hi! I've got Debian 4.0 on an NSLU2 with Samba. The system is on an USB-Stick, the Samba share is on an USB-Disk. Copying files to the samba share make some problems here. I get a large delay before the transfer starts and I get timeouts with files larger than 150MB. I found out, that samba is writing a dump file on the disc before the transfer starts, which causes the delay/timeout. This should be the right behaviour if "strict allocate = yes" is set, but my samba runs with defaults which means "strict allocate = no". Is there another setting in samba which can cause this effect? Here is my testparm -v: Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[Netzlaufwerk]" Loaded services file OK.
