Hi to all, The situation is like this. I use a linux box with kernel 2.6.4 + samba 3.0.2a + Realtech (8139too) Network card.Also there is an AIX server running lan manager. I connect to the server (mount a share resource) without problem,i can see all the contents of the shared resource without problem but when i try to copy a file from AIX server to linux box no matter the size, the copying never stops. The size of the destination file is increasing continuesly beyond the normal file size.I tried to copy a 5KB txt file from AIX server to the linux box but the copying never stoped.I interrupted the proccess and i saw that the destination file was very large.When i open the destination file i saw at the begining of the file tha the data were all right but after that the file was emty filled with spaces until the end.Has anyone had the same problem ?.Using another linux box with kernel 2.4.18 and samba 2.2.x and with another network card there was no problem. Could it be the network card (Realtech) that causes this problem ?. Also when i try to copy a file from linux box to the AIX server, the copy is going well but at the end it freezes.Although the file was successfully copied. ____________________________________________________________________ http://www.freemail.gr - ?????? ???????? ???????????? ????????????. http://www.freemail.gr - free email service for the Greek-speaking.
