It fails if the windows client is 64bit and works fine if it is 32bit. If the client is 32bit even an old samba 3.0.25c seems to work find. >> Is there a fix ? >> > Can you get a log with the crient writing around the 4gb mark ? > I'd be interested to see what error messages the server is > generating when it fails. > > which debug level would be fine ? > Raise a bug in bugzilla.samba.org and add the traces > there. > > Thanks, > > Jeremy. > -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba |
