samba - Dec 1998 - Problem with exported Optical Drive

Hi,

I'm using Samba quiet a while and never had a problem I couldn't solve
for myself. Now I've got one :) Everytime I write files > 30 MB on my
exported Fujitsu M2513A Windows is terminating with "Network share is
no longer available". The Windows progress indicator shows nothing, but
the file is written and then discarded (after the error message) !
Now I've set the following options for the MO-Share

   oplocks = false
   strict locking = yes
   strict sync = yes
   sync always = yes
 
and the file will be saved on the disk. But the error message still
remains.

Any ideas?

Alex

	I think the client timed out!
	There was a discussion of something similar recently,
	in which the logs (at a high logging level) showed that
	the client didn't finish some work in a "reasonnable"
	time, and quietly gave up.

	Try collecting logs at a high number for that share
	and (as a pure wild-ass experiment) turn off read raw for
	the share.

	in both parts (:-))
