similar to: VFAT filesystem and large files

Hello. I am trying to create a text file that contains an accent like '?' in it's filename on a vfat filesystem. This generates an error like the following: "test?.txt" E212: Can't open file for writing I have made a 'modprobe nls_cp850' and 'modprobe nls_iso8859-1' to load those needed modules. Then I mounted my FAT32 partition like this: mount -t

I recently added a 60Gig HD to my little linux server at home with the intention of sharing it via Samba to all my PCs which run Windows 98SE. I really want to use vfat file system on it. The server is running Mandrake 8.1, so kernel 2.4.something, and the Samba that came with it. Much to my disappointment I quickly discovered poor performance copying files to it, the copy is like slow to get

Here's a fun one: + guestfish -N test-virt-sparsify-in-place-fstrim-unsupported.img=fs:vfat exit + virt-sparsify --in-place test-virt-sparsify-in-place-fstrim-unsupported.img + tee test-virt-sparsify-in-place-fstrim-unsupported.log [ 2.4] Trimming /dev/sda1 [ 7.5] Sparsify in-place operation completed with no errors + grep 'warning:.*fstrim'

Hi, I'm running Samba 3.0.23a on Linux. One of my share is a USB disk with a FAT32 filesystem. When copying large files from my Windows XP machine to this share, smbd seem to "reserve" (by using ftruncate()) the space needed on the USB disk before actually doing any copying. This ftruncate() operation takes quite a while when the file is large. It may even cause the client to time

I'm running Samba on Ubuntu server. I know, perhaps it is not related with Ubuntu Server 8.04, but rather with Samba itself, but I thought perhaps someone has similar experience... I have a couple of shares on Samba on a vfat (fat32) volume. As everybody knows Linux permissions does not work on vfat, except on mount folder where vfat partition is mounted. I though that is really not a

Hi, we do a nightly backup using rsync (v2.5.6 as server on RedHat 7.3 and rsync 2.5.5 on Windows 2000/Cygwin). The backup media connected to the Windows-Client is a VFAT-formatted Maxtor USB-Disk. Everytime I run rsync from the windows-client, the following error occurs: --- <snip> --- rsync.exe -avzr --compress --stats --delete --timeout=240 --modify-window=2 rsync@server::development

Hi all, My system is : kernel 2.4.8 with ext3-0.9.6 patch e2fsprogs-1.22-2, mount-2.11g, util-linux-2.11f And ext3 filesystem works fine, but when a vfat partition is mounted: [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hdd1 /mnt/tmp [fargo] [~] # mount /dev/hda1 on / type ext2 (rw) none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/hdd1 on /mnt/tmp type vfat (rw) everything looks

it's most likely because of vfat timestamp limitation try --modify-window ????????????? When comparing two timestamps, rsync treats the timestamps as being equal if they differ by no more than? the modify-window ????????????? value.?? This? is? normally? 0 (for an exact match), but you may find it useful to set this to a larger value in some situa- ????????????? tions.? In particular,

Hi under linux I have to mount windows filesystem (ntfs or vfat). but with rsync (or with a single touch command as well) I can not write a file with a correct date on /mnt/windows_vfat or /mnt/windows_ntfs with ntfs --> only write file system ! with vfat --> wrong date ! so rsync does a full copy each time. How can I solve this ? PS: I use the same script to synchronise ext3 filesystem as

I am trying to use rsync between two local directories on Linux. The source directory is on a normal ext4 partition, under my home directory. The destination is an SD card that I insert into the card reader on the computer, formatted with a vfat filesystem. The command line is like rsync -avC --delete /home/itz/foo/ /media/itz/DEAD-BEEF/foo/ This does not work as I expected: all files are

Thanks a lot, Kevin. I have a new Linux box and tried to set it to UTC but I think gnome outsmarted me... I'll use -rt and maybe ignore timestamps entirely rather than the window. If I find something wrong on the USB stick I can always copy it again. I love the -c option, but it takes forever on slow media.

Hi Everybody! I'm sharing my VFAT partition on computer #1. Computer #2 can both read and write stuff on computer #1, but every once in a while - could be like 1 in 3 - my XP on computer #2 will say "file system error". The second error will say something about the file being locked. Then I changed my smb.conf to make samba say that my share was a FAT (instead of NTFS) and I

This is my third mail in the last three months and still no-one has answered, while I received some comments from other users about the fact that the problem is known. So if you have any info on how to fix this, please post a message :-) Here is the problem: I used to share a vfat mounted partition with other collegues through samba (2.0.7). Everything worked and still works fine with kernel

I have a drive being shared with smb (it's a vfat drive, btw) and whenever I go to create a new folder from any of the clients to that shared drive, it gives me a message that the folder allready exists, but it still does create a new folder, and then i have to rename "new folder" to whatever I want, same goes with copying/moving folders, it says the folder allready exists (when it

I'm running RH7.1 and Samba 2.2.2 . I would like to offer a VFAT partition on the server hard drive for universal read-write access. I mount the partition in fstab with /dev.hda5 /sys vfat defaults,rw,uid=1001,gid=1001 0 0 It mounts fine and shows up on the Windows 98 machine and can be opened. I can't write to it however. User and group 1001 are smbuser account, and they

Hi, I've tried a couple of different versions/distros and can't seem to mount a FAT32 (vfat) partition and then share it with Samba, such that all use of R/A/S/H attributes (for files and folder) is maintained... So I'm wondering if this is even possible? I've most recently been testing with host: Debian 4.0 (Linux 2.6.18-4-686) which includes Samba 3.0.24 client: WinXP

Hi, I have been using rsync for over ten years. Thank you! It is a great tool. Recently I had the misfortune to have to use it to sync files to a USB stick that is for a platform that only supports FAT32. After missing the point a few times and having it copy some of the same directories and files needlessly I saw the timestamps on the source files (in reasonable filesystems like JFS, XFS,
