I am seeing a problem that I am not sure how to fix and since I have never had to use samba for anything major like this I am not sure where to go. So, here is goes! I have a few Gentoo systems that currently have a bunch of data on them. I have been tasked with getting data from some Windows machines to the Gentoo systems so that we can dump the Windows machines. So, the windows machines are Windows XP and 2000 server. I am copying some large files, 5.0+ gig range, off these Windows machines and putting them up on the Gentoo systems. The problem comes in where I am trying to copy anything that is 7.0+ gigs from the Windows to the Gentoo systems via a mount statement on the Gentoo systems. Problem 1: I keep getting Segment faults when I try to copy any file that is 7+ gigs. Problem 2: Seems that the files are not reporting the correct size when I do an 'ls -l' from the mount point to the Windows machine. Map to Windows Machine from the Gentoo System (See something wrong?) mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=xxxxxxx //boxster/d$ /test ls -l /test -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 18446744072700778496 Jan 21 15:18 xxxxxxx.xxx A 'dir' of the file on the Windows machines 01/21/2004 03:18 PM 7,581,161,472 xxxxxxx.xxx That seems to be a big difference and maybe problem 1 and problem 2 are related? Versions: samba-2.2.8a on Gentoo with Kernel 2.4.22-gentoo-r5 Any ideas?
Hello, Christopher, you wrote: CL> Map to Windows Machine from the Gentoo System (See something wrong?) CL> mount -t smbfs -o username=administrator,password=xxxxxxx //boxster/d$ CL> /test Yeah. As it has been discussed several times on this list, smbfs is limited to 2GB. Please use cifs instead. Lookup http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html for details on how to patch your kernel ... Also smbfs is NOT part of the Samba suite but part of the linux kernel. -- best regards, Stefan G.

So that is why I don't have a problem creating a share on the Gentoo systems, mapping a drive on the Windows machines to the Gentoo system and copying the files that way?> Lookup http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html for details > on how to patch your kernel ... > > Also smbfs is NOT part of the Samba suite but part of the linux > kernel.Learn something every day :)> > -- > best regards, > Stefan G.
