Samba-served network drive fails after a few MB
Hi,
I set up Debian Linux (which rocks, verily) awhile back and made it a Samba server on my home 100Mbit ethernet network. I've mapped a directory on the Linux box as a networked drive for my XP Pro (SP2) machine and can read and write files without problems -- usually. My motivation for doing this was to use the big HD on the Linux box as a backup medium for my XP machine. Unfortunately, the backup fails after writing about 5GB. I've run the backup several times, and it's failed at different points all between 5 and 6 GB. The same backup runs to completion (about 20GB in all) if I use my USB HD as the backup medium. Any hints about what might be going on? Many thanks, Cliff Last edited by Fearless; 12-15-2004 at 09:58 AM.. Reason: Doh: I meant 'GB' not 'MB' |

Can you manually copy big files to that network drive?
Is your backup program supposed to support network drives? Can you see any error messages in the Samba logs? |
