similar to: Newbie problem with smbmount & >2GB files

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

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

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

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. 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...

Hi! Machine "A" linux with samba Machine "b" win98 Here's the problemfree section: Connection b -> a = no problems seeing characters like "?,?,?" Connection a -> b, using smbclient = no problems seeing characters like "?,?,?" Here's the problem section: Connection a -> b, using mount -t smbfs = characters like "?,?,?" is

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

I've got seven Linux boxes, and three NT boxes, all that have to be mounted via smbmount for a backup that we run through one of the Linux machines ("SPEEDY") via BRU. While Speedy has no problem keeping the mounts for all the Linux machines, the mounts for NT machines will timeout after a short period. I run a "df" and get an Input/Output error on all the NT machines. I

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

I'm getting only partial iso8859-1 translation from an smbfs mount from my Win98SE machine. The smbfs mounted file system shows most lower-case accented characters fine; but, it substitutes underscores for most of the upper-case accented characters (and a few lower-case ones too): # uname -a Linux elm 2.4.18-8.1mdkian3 #7 Sat Aug 17 15:19:44 EDT 2002 i686 unknown (Mandrake 8.2 Linux with all

Hi, I have RH6.2 with kernel 2.4.1smp, create file 2GB on the ext2fs not problem, but copy datafile>2GB over smb not function:( , where is mistake ? thank you jirka

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

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:

Dear Sirs, i (as well as others, too) found such problem I will describe my case): I have a Slackware server, kernel 2.4.5, with default NLS for remote clients - cp775, smb 2.0.9 If i connect to this server from my desktop running Slackware/2.4.18/ with default locale UTF8, everything is OK until i cd into smbmounted directory which conatains files with names containing specific Latvian

This is the list of problems I had with samba-2.0.6 so far. Can anyone tell me if he can reproduce them and if he considers them as problems? 2.0.6 on linux 2.2.13 or 2.0.33 1) sighup/log reopening doesn't always work: connections that are already active keep logging to the old logs; logrotate rotates/zip the logs and samba stops logging completely till restart. 2) Localized chars. I have

I have a machine running redhat 6.2 and samba 2.0.6 that does a persistent mount to my Windows 2000 machine for the purposes of serving files via FTP. The samba connection occasionally times out it seems, I get the message smb_request: result -32, setting invalid smb_retry: new pid=20679, generation=12 and it generates a new connection I've got SO_KEEPALIVE active in the socket options in my

I have a Linux box (Pentium III processor, 256M RAM) running kernel version 2.4.3, and smbmount version 2.0.7. The Linux box has a Windows 2000 Server share mounted via "mount -t smbfs ...". I am running into what seems to be a cacheing problem. I am doing software development on this share, editing the files from a Win98 workstation, and compiling on the Linux box. However,

Hi, I was backup up my laptop the other day, and the Windows backup utility said it was going to do about 17GB of data - and I was dumping this to a Samba share from my Linux machine. However, it looks like the data wrapped around when it got past 4GB. Not really sure what happened though. When I saw that the .bkf file was smaller (the next morning) that what a previous 'ls -l' showed
