[Samba] Files over 4GB not listing properly. Cannot get CIFS working.
> Hi guys, > > I'm attempting to move large files (>4GB) from a PowerPC-based embedded system running a 2.4 kernel architecture to an PC running a 2.6 kernel. I've got samba compiled, installed, and running on the embedded box. I also have the directories from the PPC system mounted and accessible from the PC. > > I have two problems: larger file sizes do not list correctly, and large files transferred from the embedded box to the PC are not complete; IE they're dropping data along the way. I'm familiar with the 2GB file size limit on samba, and have mounted the PC side using the lfs flag. > > Problem 1: Incorrect listing > > Here's a list of the directory from the embedded box: > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 52646396 Jan 5 06:46 file1.ch10 > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 60755936 Jan 5 06:46 file2.ch10 > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 47606684 Jan 5 06:46 file3.ch10 > -r--r--r-- 1 root root 4920604376 Jan 5 05:51 file4.ch10 > > Here's that same listing, but of the samba mount of that directory on the PC: > > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 52646396 Jan 5 2007 file1.ch10 > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 60755936 Jan 5 2007 file2.ch10 > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 47606684 Jan 5 2007 file3.ch10 > -r-xr-xr-x 1 root root 625637080 Jan 5 2007 file4.ch10 > > As you can see, files 1-3 list fine, but file4 is showing way short. I'm guessing this might be some sort of overflow condition, any ideas? > > Problem 2: Loss of data during transfer of large files. > When I try to transfer file4, i only get 41xxxxxxxx or so of the > total file size. This is the more pressing issue. > > Also, I cannot mount the samba share using CIFS. I use the line > > mount -t smbfs //server/share/ path/to/local/ -o user=u,pass=p,lfs > > to mount with SMBFS, and it works correctly, just doesn't display the large files. > However, when using the following: > > mount -t smbfs //server/share/ path/to/local/ -o user=u,pass=p,lfs > > I get "Mount error 5= Input/output error" > > Any thoughts? > > Thanks, > Matt > > > >***Teletronics Technology Corporation*** This e-mail is confidential and may also be privileged.
