Since ** ** the person who submitted this question may not be on the ** ** mailing list, please reply directly or on the message board: ** ** http://www.euglug.org/board.phtml?id=94 ** Here's the deal: My linux fileserv is running samba to sahre files to my win9x stations. It works nicely except when I try to write files bigger than 170k to the shares that are on volumes other than /. They are mounted as /ftp and /mp3. Both are vfat. On a share called /testing with is just a dir on /, everything works perfectly. And on the other shares I can delete/move files with no trouble. I can create/delete directories. This all works regardless of file size. The problem starts when I try to cross volumes/filesystems. If I try to copy a file from /testing or from one of the workstations to either /ftp or /mp3, it fails if the file is larger than 170k, saying "access is denied". In all cases where the file is smaller than 170k, it succeeds. Any sugestions? I have already exhausted my limited experience and tried afew other boards online, all only to discover that it should work, and nothing seems to be wrong.
