samba - Aug 2002 - Samba client segmentation fault on huge SMB file systems

Dear all,

smb client V2.2.3a crash while running command "du" on an smbfs share
file
system rather large : 295 Gb

The share is installed on an IBM linux Mandrake 8.2 server.
Windows clients runs correctly on the entire share.

Only smblient crash while running (for exemple) a disk usage command on the 
share, form the client.

I suppose that smblient  has some limitation ?

Thank you for helping us.

Are you using smbclient or smbfs? The message is not entirely clear ...


If you are using smbfs then the segmentation fault should include a kernel 
oops. If you run dmesg you can see the most recent output from the kernel.

If there is an oops you need to decoded it and send it to me. Decoding an 
oops can be done like this:

dmesg | ksymoops > oops.txt
