Hi everyone, (cc Philippine Linux Users' Group) First off I'm not a member of the mailing list so it would be really great if I could be cc'd all replies. TIA. :)
I am experiencing a problem with Samba/Linux to Samba/Linux smbfs mounts. I am using Samba 2.2.2 on both client and server. The server's filesystem is XFS, kernel is 2.4.16-xfs. I have a 3.2GB (3340095767 bytes as reported by stat and ls) tar.bz2 file in a share. Using smbclient the file is indeed 3340095767 bytes large. >From a Windows workstation (Windows 95/98/NT), it is reported to be 3.2GB, too. However, when I mount the share via smbfs (on a Linux box, of course), the same file is 2.0T as reported by du (ie: du -csh), 18446744072754680087 bytes as reported by ls, but is only 3340095767 bytes as reported by stat. Further comparison of stat results of the same file via smbfs and directly are intriguing. directly (ie: on the server): Size: 3340095767 Blocks: 6523640 IO Block: 4096 Regular File Device: 80ah/2058d Inode: 197708955 Links: 1 via smbfs: Size: 3340095767 Blocks: 4293102313 IO Block: 4096 Regular File Device: 8h/8d Inode: 1775 Links: 1 I will find time when the system is not too loaded to compare the two files (cmp and diff bail out because of the filesizes), probably using md5sum. I can't do this right now because it's hogging the system and taking forever. The smaller files seem to be okay. I tested an arbitrary file using md5sum and the "view" of smbfs and the fielsystem are the same. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance! :) --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III :: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Network Administrator :: The Leather Collection, Inc.
