Hi all, Is there a maximum share size that SMB will allow for a Windows host to access. We are using Samba 3.0.20b on a Linux 2.6.20 system. When we create a share of size 1.5TB on this system, we observe that after copying around 500GB of data into this share from a Windows XP system, the network mapped drive gets connected successfully. But then quickly gets disconnected when we try to copy around another 3GB of data into that. Is there any upper limit on the data size per share that Samba will ever support? Or is this one of those Windows registry settings or something that needs to be tweaked... Thanks, Srini

I've not encountered any. -- Adam Tauno Williams, Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org
