[Samba] 3.3.3 blocks writing of files ~1.55GB or greater from Windows XP
Samba is hosted on a server running Debian-Lenny, on a Reiserfs partition. After upgrading to 3.3.3, Windows XP clients fail to copy files through explorer using SMB shares when the file size is around 1.55GB or greater in size. The error is "Cannot copy Filename.ext: The specified network name is no longer available." Copying existing files located on the share to the same or any other share fails with the same error. Copying files from the share to the local client filesystem works correctly. Linux and Mac clients have no problems. I have not tested Vista at this point. The error occurs before any copying begins. The target folder on the share will contain a correctly-named, 0 byte file after the attempt to write is made. The POSIX permissions of the 0-byte file on the server side are correct and the file is owned by the correct user : group. I do not believe this is related to the error dealing with the rotation between ports 139 and 445. The copy does not fail after some time, it is immediate. To be sure, I have tried setting both 445 and 139 alone as the option "smb ports = ". Is anyone else seeing this behavior?
