I'm very new to Samba.
I ran an install this morning and have 2.2.8 running on a IA64 OVMS v8.2 machine and I'm still figuring out what end is up...
Unless you have gone through the source, you may find that parts of SAMBA think you are running on a VAX.
I noticed on the Mac OSX.3.8 box I used to test the server that I have a "zero" -length file on the server...
-rwx------ 1 smithp01 admin 0 Dec 1 16:03 smithp01-1/mdp.bck
Actually, on the VMS side things are rather different ...
Directory SYS$USER:[SMITHP01]
mdp.bck;1 501291/501296 1-DEC-2004 15:54:20.18
Presumably there is a size overflow issue here for the directory.
More likely a different bug. The size field data type is more than large enough for the task.
Is there a fix? or a different choice for parameters in smb.conf?
I do not know.
Which 2.2.8 release are you running? There have been several of them.
I do not know what if any of the things that I changed for 8.2 and IA64 on http://encompasserve.org/~malmberg/SAMBA/ in the SAMBA 2.2.12 kit have been incorporated in Jean-Yves latest kit.
I do know there are fixes in Jean-Yves latest 2.2.8 kit that I have not yet rolled into 2.2.12.
