[Samba] samba and winxp problem with FAT32 shares
Hi, I have a FC5 linux PC in the LAN where samba is configured. I connected a 2GB usb flash drive to it and created a share to access it through lan. The flash drive is a FAT32 one. I have mounted it like this "mount -t vfat -o umask=000 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdisk". I am able to read/write small files but when I tried to copy a movie of some 467MB file into the share I got an error "The specified network name no longer exists" after a some time of initiating copy. Through ethereal I was able to know that windows is not giving response for some time and trying to reconnect three or four times on different ports. I want to know if this is windows problem or a samba problem. My samba logs when the error occured is this: [2007/04/29 11:45:03, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(758) oplock_break: receive_smb error (Success) oplock_break failed for file mov001.dat (dev = 812, inode = 1646447, file_id = 1118). [2002/04/29 11:45:03, 0] smbd/oplock.c:oplock_break(843) oplock_break: client failure in break - shutting down this smbd. -- Mohan
