Solaris samba 2.0.6 with largefile support running on ultra 10 with solaris 2.7 patch level 106541-07. Clients are win98 and win2000 importing a 10G share from the solaris machine. Using a small C program that writes 1M chunks to a file I can write a file as large as the partition will support. Using the system backup program to write a system backup to a file on the share the program dies with a windows dialog about Unknown Error at 4G. It seems that the backup program is making some calls that my C code is not that make it 4G sensitive, which I believe is the max size of a fat32 file. dkr -------------- next part -------------- HTML attachment scrubbed and removed

You may need something which supports NTFS filesystems to get past the 4GB limit... --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.

[Redirect to the general discussion] I wonder if the client thinks we're serving only FAT filssystems???? Experts, can you comment? --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
