[Samba] Samba 3.0.14a and file captures larger than 2 GB problem
Am using Samba 3.0.14a to serve up a Software RAID-5 array running on embedded Linux (coLinux) to the windows side of my box. Have had no troubles copying large files from Windows to the array. However, I recently tried to capturing a DV from the camcorder direct to an array. I tried a couple different programs capture programs, and even went to the trouble of disk caching the drives under windows, and still kept having a problem where right at 2GB, I'd get a "Delayed Write Error" from Windows, and then that would be it. Once I stop the capture, I can still read and write from the Samba share just fine. So it's as if Samba stops listening after 2 gigs. I've confirmed that my kernel (2.6.11 - Debian distribution) has CIFS and SMB compiled in. Any idea what I could be doing wrong? TIA, Ewan
