i am having a similar problem with files over 4 GB....help would be greatly appreciated
"Patrick Blitz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... hy. even if that had been a very common subject already, i still have this one big (litterary) problem. I want to backup our main school systems, based on a Win2k fileserver, to a linux box with samba 2.2.7a and red hat 7.3 with kernel 2.4. The backupfile, created by the windows backup utility, is bigger than 11 Gbyte. I tried nearly every possible way, with smaller files (of course), smbclient tar and get. but a big file is not transferable. At least, the filesize is no displayed correctly. but the file is always either cut of in the middle, or just grows infintive. I tried taring whole directories over smbclient, that worked, the file was good and big (5.3G, but many small files transfered, of course). I thought that the file size limit from 4 gbyte was not applicant any more.. or am i wrong? am I just totally confused? does anybody have any option on how to fix this problem? thx patrick -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
