Hello I have used samba for many years, and it worked great (thanks!). Anyway, I recently decided to add a USB drive to the server. Currently running 2.6.29.2 linux kernel, debian etch. samba version 3.0.24 The USB drive is VFAT
I am able to write small files remotely to the USB drive (a few Kb, 10's of Kb) without a problem. However, whenever I try to write something "larger" (like 1 Mb), the client machine "freezes" for a while (about 1 minute or so), then returns an error saying the file could not be written. However, if I look at the share under which the USB drive is mounted, a file exist, however, it is all "0"'s. If I log onto the server with ssh, i can cp large files from ext3 drive to the VFAT USB drive without problems. I found a post about this somewhere (I can't seem to find it again), which said this was a problem with the VFAT code, not samba. I was wondering, is this is the case? is the is a work-around? Basically, is there a way to write large files via samba to a VFAT USB drive? thanks bye - ted -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
