[Samba] Samba 2.2.5 - Cannot copy The path is too deep
I recently installed Samba 2.2.5 from the FreeBSD ports. It seems Samba works fine when browsing the Samba server from WinXP client, etc. I can copy files from the Samba server, and even create small files and copy small files TO the Samba server. The problem seems to be if I try to copy any file greater than 16Kbytes or so to the Samba server. When I do so, Windows XP complains with an error: Cannot copy <file>: The path is too deep. The problem happens on any share, any user, and any file. There are no known network problems. They are connected via 100Mbps switched network. Anyone know where to start looking on this? -- Robert Blayzor, BOFH INOC, LLC rblayzor@inoc.net Profanity is the one language all programmers know best.

I can verify that small files were fine but when I tried to copy multi meg files to my home share I too received the same error. I would be interested to know what is causing it as well though at the moment I am not all that fussed..just thought I'd throw in my $.02AUD :) -- Regards, Deryk Robosson Robosson Business Services 22 Flemington Street Albany, WA 6330 ABN: 56 728 377 499 Phone: +61 4 0842 9835 Email: deryk@0x0a.com
