Hello,
I'm having a problem copying large amounts of data from our Win2k3
server to a samba share on the samba server. I've turned debugging on
in the smb.conf file all the way up to level 10 and I still do not see
what is causing my file transfers to abort. It consistently aborts
copying files as small as 10 gigs even. I've read through the
performance tuning section in the handbook and tried those options,
but I'm still not having any luck. I tried copying the same data using
ftp instead and did not have any problems so I do not think there is a
physical networking problem. If anyone has any suggestions I would
greatly appreciate them.
Kind regards,
Elvar
More on this file transfer problem. I can run ntbackup to a share on
another random WinXP or 2K workstation just fine without problems. The
size of the backup I used in my test was 50G in size. Just to try and
change things up I removed FreeBSD as the host OS for the samba box and
installed gentoo linux with the same smb.conf hoping that maybe for some
insane reason it was an OS problem. Negative, the same exact problem is
still happening. Large transfers or even transfers that are large
consisting of many files will fail at random times. It rarely ever lasts
longer than 10 mins, sometimes 5. Again, I don't thin it's the hardware
to the samba box because I can ftp 50G's across just fine. If anyone has
any ideas I would really appreciate some assistance.
Thanks,
Elvar
