Samba Share Problem

[Darren Etheridge_2]

I have a pretty large CIFS share on HPUX 11.23 but when I'm trying to copy a 3.5GB file to it from a Windows 2003 server I get the message "Not Enough Disk Space Available". Why would this be? Large Files is enabled on this lvol... Help! :)

Shalom,

Please post Samba HP-UX version.

You might need a patch (Samba version update) to enable files bigger than 2 GB.

Samba Version info:

version: 2.2.8a based HP CIFS Server A.01.10

Does Samba 2.8 support files greater than 2GB?

what is the output of swlist -l product|grep -i cifs?
what is the file system space usage for that share on 11.23 system?

[Darren Etheridge_2]

[TAL:/]swlist -l product |grep CIFS
CIFS-Client A.02.02 CIFS Client
CIFS-Development A.02.04 HP CIFS Server Source Code Files
CIFS-Server A.02.04 HP CIFS Server (Samba) File and Print Services

CIFS/Samba Share Info:

/dev/vg98/installs_lv 223744000 167683230 52581457 76% /installs

[John Guster]

if the share has largefile option enabled (confirm with cat /etc/mnttab), and you have more than 50 GB free space, the window file less than 4GB should be copied over to the share. CIFS share's attributes are carried over to window side by default. there is no limit on file size through SAMBA. What the samba log say?

output from mnttab:

/dev/vg98/installs_lv /installs vxfs ioerror=mwdisable,largefiles,delaylog,dev=4
0010001 0 0 1272759903


Very weird!

Even stranger, I can copy a 5GB file from my workstation to the same CIFS share?? I am running Windows XP with 4GB of ram.. the Windows 2003 Advance server with 20GB of memory can't (18GB of the ram is allocated to the SQL Instances). Could this be the problem, lack of available memory - but showing as not enought disk space ?
