similar to: smbmount 2GB file size limit ?

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

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...

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

Hi, Since i upgraded to Linux Redhat 9.0 / samba-2.2.7a-8.9.0 / kernel 2.4.20-9 i have the following problem: # smbmount //amd/Films /mnt/disk -o username=jan,password=XXXXXX # In 50% of the times i do this command it mounts the share and goes into daemon mode and ps -aux shows one process smbmount. All ok. However in the other 50% the command just hangs. If i open a new window it did do

In a past thread I've notice that smbmount (and mount's suport for it) will be discontinued and smbclient should be used insted. Sorry if the question is too lame but I use it in some of my systems now and I think I'll have trouble porting then to smbclient. Is smbmount been removed because it relays on kernel smb support? Samba will not need smb support in kernel in the

Hi All: I encountered a problem with smbmount and win2003 sp1. Before I upgrade sp1, everything works fine. But after sp1, smbmount = can't work. The command and error message are as follows: smbmount //localhost/share1 /tmp/mountest -o = username=3Ddomainu1,password=3Dpassword ERRDOS - ERRnoaccess (Access Denied.) SMB connection failed I also checked the release note about the issue, and

Hi all, We have a Debian Linux 3.0, running kernel 2.4.18, and all filesystems are formatted as ext3. My problem is: when I try to mount an w2k share in this machine using smbmount, I can't see big files correctly. I suspect that the problem happens with files bigger then 2GB. I have a file in the w2k machine that's 4GB size, and when I mount the share in the linux machine, I see that

I run a script to mount several file shares from machines running W98 and W2000 so that I can do incremental dumps every night of these file shares. smbmount almost always fails to exit. This causes the script to stall and so the dumps are not done. In the am, if I kill the smbmount processes, the dumps complete successfully, since the mounts were in fact correctly completed. (I know that

I'm getting a "max file size exceeded" when copying from knoppix 3.3. to RH9 over a samba share when the file gets to be >2G in size. This is samba 3.0.2a on server, 3.0.2-Debian on client. I googled a bit, and the more recent one (2003) directed the user to get a build that was built on their Linux 2.4 system. I installed from an RPM I downloaded for RH9 (3.0.2a), I

I have become quite confused about the interaction of the kernel versions and the different versions of Samba and smbmount. I have just upgraded to a 2.2 kernel. 'make menuconfig' gave no choice by which to enable the Win95 bug workaround. At the same time, smbmount 2.0.5a, which seems to be the proper one for a 2.2 kernel (it's the latest provided by Debian, under the name

hi ya samba-gurus.. I'm currently using Linux-2.0.35 to backup NT boxes... linux-2.0.35 + smbmount-2.0.1 works find for things like smbmount //NT/C /NT_mnt ...etc... find /NT_mnt -mtime -1 | tar zcvf /backup/foo.tgz -T - but it fails miserabley on linux-2.2.5 w/ smbmount-2.0.x w/ smbd-2.0.3 ( smbmount from smbfs and samba-2.0.3 ) - some linux programs will change all your time stamps on

I think that I have found what I consider a bug using smbmount 2.0.05a that came with linux 6.1, and also have a question at the end of this e-mail. I can successfully mount a shared drive from a windows NT machine using the following format. smbmount //computername/sharedfolder /mountpoint -U username%password I can manipulate folders and files from the linux computer with no problem. However

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 posted a similar email recently regarding this. One thing has changed, however; I have upgraded my kernel to 2.2.6 (hence I'm now using the samba version of smbmount rather than the smbfs version). I get the error "no such device" when trying to mount a network drive. My command line is: smbmount "\\\\susangra\\c-hd" -c 'mount /mnt' the console text which

I installed samba on a PC running SuSE 10.2, using the version from the SuSE 10.2 repository (3.0.23). All very nice, except smbmount is missing. As I understand it, this would seem to be because the version offered had not been compiled with the --with-smbmount option. Is my interpretation correct? And if so, how can I fix things? Do I have to download the source and do my own compilation

Hi I have two different distributions running, RedHat 6.0 and Slackware 7.0. Both machines are running Samba 2.05a. When I try the smbmount command on the RedHat machine, it has no problem mounting the smb service. RedHat 6.0: works: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c failed: smbmount "\\win95\c" -c `mount /mnt/c -u 123 -g 456` Slacware 7.0: failed: smbmount //win95machine/c /mnt/c

I have built, installed, and run 2.0.6 successfully without smbmount, but want to do it with this time. I know that it's not part of samba, but am hoping someone can tell me if I'm making a simple mistake. It's possible that it's not even samba related. I'm a novice at this and have not gotten very good at figuring out what's wrong when something doesn't build

Dear all, I'm having a problem with smbmount and could you please kindly help ? I'm desperately searching a smbmount config equivalent to NFS "soft" mount option, but I cannot find any. I'll smbmount a Windows share as smbfs on a Linux box. I hope remote file access requests sent from smb client can timeout if CIFS server is down. i.e. I don't want the r/w file

Hi ! The O'Reilly "Using Samba" book, recommend not to include smbmount support as it is for Linux only: "This feature wasn't being maintained at the time the book was written, so the Samba team made it an optional feature and provided smbwrapper instead. The smbwrapper feature works on more Unix platforms than smbmount, so you'll usually want to use --with-smbwrapper

Dear Samba Developers, Dear Urban, This was my original letter. I hope you get it correctly this time. Maybe it was too big, now I reduced the size of this letter. My goal is to make a Linux fileserver up and running with automatic archiving functionality in a mixed Windows 2000 - Linux network and since the beginning of February I could not solve my problem, so I write to you hoping that you
