Hi Oleg, I was running a Win2k ntbackup job over the network via samba. I remember fixing this issue quite some time ago by building samba locally, but it appears that the version of samba may be at fault (samba-2.2.2-3.2mdk, from Mandrake Update). I will check to see if there is any separate issues by running a dd command to create a large dummy file in the meantime. - David
