similar to: smbmount on NT machine times-out

Hello Everyone, I am trying to automate the backups at my office, and am running into trouble with the windows machines. I have used the smbmount command to mount the windows systems onto our RedHat Linux 6.0 box. I can verify that they are indeed mounted successfully. I have a copy of BRU, which is an excellent piece of backup software. Ideally, I would like to use BRU to back up

If I use smbmount and copy a file > 2GB in size, I get an error: "8720 File Size Limit Exceeded" I'm using kernel 2.4.18 (smp) with Redhat 7.3. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks, Mick e-ssociate EPSON (UK) Ltd. Tel 01442 227374 www.epson.co.uk

I've got a machine running RedHat Linux 6.2 on a P-II400 with 256MB of ram. I'm mounting shares in the manner 'mount -t smbfs -o uid=user,gid=group //server/share /mount/point'. The server is a genuine NT 4 server, with SP5 and a couple of hotfixes. I mounted a couple of shares yesterday, and overnight the stopped working. When accessing the share, I get an error message that

Greetings, I don't know how common an issue this is as I haven't found much in the list archives that was helpful to me, so I'm hoping for some pointers. FYI, we have samba 2.3.3a-6 running on the 2.4.18-10 kernel. There seems to be an issue with smbfs mounts at times where connectivity may be lost (e.g. Win share becomes unavailable) causing local processes such as lsof or ps,

I'm using Urban Widmark's smbfs/Linux kernel patch (2.2.14) to display iso-8859-1 characters in file names on NT mounts. The patch works fine for me; I'm only wondering if and when it will be integrated into the Linux kernel. After all, NLS is an essential feature and not just nice-to-have for all non-anglophone users... Yes, I know this is a bit off-topic on this list, but there

This is a problem I get with various versions of Samba, up to and including 2.0.7. (The version shipped with Debian.) I have an NT machine (4.0, service-pack 3 using NTFS) exporting a filesystem to Linux through smbmount. Specific directories are not browsable. By that I mean that "ls *" comes up blank, however if you know the filename, "ls foo.txt" will still find the

Hi, I am mounting a windows 2000 share on a linux box (2.4.18) using smbmount (2.2.2). I can create files >2Gb on both the systems, but I can't copy a file >2Gb from the linux box over the smbmount. The file size limit is exceeded and the "cp" command core-dumps. Has anyone solved this problem? I had installed the samba binary rpms; is there a patch-n-compile solution

Hello All! There was a problem: then the samba server goes down, the smbfs tries to reconnect only once. Then the server returns online the smbfs dont restore connection and say "I/O error" without keeping trying to reconnect. I found that there is no problem in smbfs kernel module. Each time it got CONN_INVALID, it send SIGUSR1 to smbmount daemon, which has to restore connection. The

Hi all - If this is in the wrong group kindly direct me where to post. I have an odd problem using rsync across an smbmount (via fstab) of a WinNT drive to Linux Redhat 7.1. I have samba 2.0.10-2 (though smbd is not running) and rsync 2.4.6-2. I use the Linux machine to rsync folders on the WinNT machine to folders on our production webservers. This allows clients to update

Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

Hello and thanks for your informative web site. I went searching through looking for information on MAX file sizes with Samba, unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate what info I needed after an hour or so of searching. What OUR issues are here are we have a NAS using WinNT that our Linux server is accessing. We have a need to COPY/MOVE/TAR a file from one server (NT) to another. What my

Hello All, I'm running Samba 2.2.7a on RedHat 8.0. Connecting to a Windows 2000 200GB share works OK, except for files > 2 GBytes. The linux box can see the large Windows files, but does not see their correct sizes -- it reports an absurdly big size when using ls -l. Files less that 2GB show up correctly. Trying to create a 3G file on the Windows box from the linux box, using:
