I'm running RedHat 8.0 with samba-2.2.7-5.8.0 (installed from RedHat distribution)
When I use cpio to write a backup (> 2GB) to a smbfs filesystem, I get the error: File size limit exceeded I get the same error when I linux copy (cp) a file (> 2GB) from a Linux ext3 filesystem to the smbfs filesystem. The smbfs filesystem is mounted from a Windows 2000 Professional workstation. After experiencing the problem, I installed an NFS client on the Windows 2000 Professional workstation (for testing purposes). Everything works with NFS, but I want to make it work with samba. I DO NOT get an error when: MS copy from NTFS to samba share (i.e. copy c:\bigfile \\linuxsvr\smbshr\bigfile) MS copy from samba share to NTFS (i.e. copy \\linuxsvr\smbshr\bigfile c:\bigfile) Linux copy from ext3 to ext3 (i.e. cp -p /home/bigfile1 /home/bigfile2) Linux copy from NFS to ext3 (i.e. cp -p /nfs/bigfile /home/bigfile) Linux copy from ext3 to NFS (i.e. cp -p /home/bigfile to /nfs/bigfile) I ONLY get the error when linux is trying to copy (cp) or write (cpio, tar, dd) to a mounted samba filesystem. (i.e. mount -t smb //win2k-ws/share /mnt) Do I need to install something for linux to treat the mounted share as a CIFS filesystem? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
