Andreas> John, you are coming into the discussion late, and most of Andreas> these things have already been covered. The application Andreas> works fine when the Linux server is running XFS under Samba, Andreas> and not when it's running ext3. So clearly the error is on Andreas> the Linux side somewhere. I'm not really sure about this, and what I was trying to get across that having a better grasp of all the details would be a big help. Sure, it looks like it might be an ext3/samba interaction, or even just a pure ext3 problem, but having a client write as many 45mb files via samba shouldn't be a problem at all. And I really wonder what error(s) the application is glossing over, since I suspect that's not helping the search for a solution. That's why I suggested doing a test where Andrew tried using the Windows NT explorer tools to copy a bunch of images from his Shake servers to the Samba/ext3 server to see what happens. If that works just fine, then the problem just got murkier. John _______________________________________________ Ext3-users@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/ext3-users
