Hello, I have a problem, I'm mounting a ntfs directory shared with w2k. I made "cd" to the mounted directory, I excute tar ... and the limit is 2Gb, and I receive the error: Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 512 Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_request: result -512, setting invalid Jul 20 10:04:30 mail kernel: smb_retry: caught signal Jul 20 10:04:30 mail

I earlier this week upgraded from Debian woody to sarge on a machine that does a nightly backup to another machine via a samba share. Since then I have had some issues with accessing that share with I believe are a result of the upgrade. I upgraded the kernel at the same time to 2.4.27-1-686 #1 via apt-get, which might be the related to the problem. Smbfs is version 3.0.6-3

A friend of mine is running Samba (samba-2.0.3-8) on a couple RedHat Linux 6.0 machines. He is sharing files bilaterally at work with a WinNT machine and at home with a Win9x machine. In both places, he is getting a large number of SMB error messages. I'm not sure whether these are from the smbfs (smbmount) or from the Windoze machines accessing the Linux drives, though I suspect the

Greetings, About 2 months ago, we decided to backup our Oracle test servers via samba rather than nfs -- the backups were just taking too long using nfs. No problem mounting the remote file share to the server and the backup took about one-third of the time. Yep, worked good...and still continues to out perform nfs hands down. Problem is - I'm receiving errors on both of the test servers.

Hi all I'm using Samba version 3.0623 on my rhel3 with kernel 2.4.21 I mounted a windows partition with the command "smbmount". Now I have the problem, that I cannot copying files which are larger than 2GB. The cp command starts and everything works fine until the 2GB are reached. Then the bash gives me the error: "The maximum file size is exceeded" the

Hello, I have a samba server serving som e shares to a heavily loaded web- server. There a four shares fg 60Gb each. Approx. once a day, one of the shares die (it tends to be the one under the harddest strain).

I'm running Linux 2.1.130 on an AXP, with Samba 2.0 beta 2. I have smbfs enabled in the kernel with Win 95 bug fixes enabled but I'm not running smbd. The server containing the share is an HP running Samba 1.9.16p11. I mount the share with smbmount //hpname/share -c 'mount /home/me/mydir' All is well for a while (~1 hour), but then I get kernel: smb_get_length: recv error = 5

Hi list members! Probably this one isn't even samba-related, but as I do not fully understand the error messages and this list is read by people who work wokr with samba more often than me, I hope someone can help me. Okay, here is what I've got. I boot knoppix on a workstation and start a script, which backs up the harddrive onto another PC which is running Windows NT Workstation.

Hi! I have several linux boxes, that need to be backed up. I wrote a small script for this task that simply creates a .tar.gz file with alle the important stuff in it. The tape drive is connected to a windows box, so the script also mounts a windows share and copies the .tar.gz file. Unfortunately I get errors from time to time when the script copies large files (>200 MB). Small files (<100

Hello, I have a problem with smbmount between two Linux (both: RH 6.0, kernel 2.2.9, samba 2.0.4c) boxes. When I use smbmount, the share loads and I can read files just fine, but when I copy ("cp file") to the share, the first 512 bytes of the file are copied and then the copy just freezes there. Trying several times to kill -9 the process didn't work. I had to reboot the server.

I'm new to Samba and networking, and am running RH 6.1, Samba Version 2.0.7 on my home PC and using it as a LAN gateway for 2 Win95 boxes. Samba is printing error messages directly to the screen. It tends to favor the Pine program, overwriting whatever is on the console even if I'm reading from a different virtual console (see next 2 paragraphs for example): <edit> If you have a

Dear Samba Support, Currently I'm using redhat 6.2 with kernel version 2.2.14-5.0 and samba server version : samba-2.0.6-9 I have configured our samba server as member of NT domain.

Hi there. I'm having a very odd problem with samba. I have a Mandrake 7.2 linux distro, though I've compiled a 2.4.2 kernel for it (with samba support compiled in - not a module), and I've also compiled Samba 2.0.7. When I mount shares from my win98 machines, if I try to list a large directory or open a large file, the terminal freezes. I'm able to log in another, but if I

Dudes and/or Dudettes: HEEELLLPPP! (such a newbie statement) I can't get my remote SMB mounts to work on my Linux box. duke was happily running Slackware Linux 2.0.36 and Samba 1.9.18p8 . I upgraded to Linux 2.2.0pre9 (2.2.0final), which seemed to require upgrading to Samba 2.0.0 . (I don't remember the exact errors) Now i can't get my NT and '95 disks to stay mounted on

Found these messages in /var/log/dmesg on a Redhat 7.1 machine running Samba 2.2.2 accessing a Win 2000 share. Actually, there are a bunch of tasks accessing the same share, complete with file locking, etc. Any docs on what that error code means? ...Thanks, ...Kenneth smb_get_length: recv error = 113 smb_trans2_request: result=-113, setting invalid smb_file_write: syndex/csafe.log validation
