Copy file from windows showing difference size

[PatrickX]

Hi,

I installed CIFS client on HPUX 11i and connect to a share folder on a windows 2003 server. Everyday, a schedule copy set of large file to that folder (>4G). Then if necessary, I have to copy file from windows share folder back to HPUX folder. However, when look from windows the file size looks normal, look from HPUX the file size is much smaller, only about half size of the file. I copied file back to the hpux folder, but the file just half size of the orginal one. Could you give some advice?

Many thanks

How much of the software involved has a 2GB
file size limit?

> [...] HPUX 11i [...]

That covers a lot of ground, doesn't it?
"uname -a"?

Hi,

seems like you don't have 'largefiles' enabled at the file system at 11i - then a single file is limited to 2GB!
