| I posted about 2 weeks ago about problems we were | having copying files larger than about 17.6GB from | NT to Samba 2.2.8a-1 on a Raidzone 1.3TB system. ...... | One of the most recent and enlightening things we | tried was to hang a spare SCSI drive on an external | connector on the RZ box, put an ext2 filesystem | on it, and add a share for it in the smb.conf. A | 32GB file copies perfectly to this share, obviously | using the same Samba setup and network interface, | which made me suspect an issue with the RZ disk | array.
What's an RZ Box? Is it a RAID box including a Linux box with samba software or a RAID box alone attached to a Linux box of your own running 2.2.8a-1? I've never had any problems with reiserfs 3.6 and large files ever since I started using samba 2.2.6. The current version is 2.2.8a-3 and it still works. My clients are all Win2K but that should be irrelevant. Do some logging to see what happens when a large copy fails. | Should we try ext3, and if so, are there any | possible complications we should be aware of? Why don't you try it out. It'll probably fail too. ____________________________________________________________ Get advanced SPAM filtering on Webmail or POP Mail ...
