Title: Is there a Max File Size Setting?
Post by: Mjohnson on March 24, 2007, 01:56:54 PM

I have never run into this before.  Using SME 7.1.2, I am attempting to copy a downloaded file (3+ gigs) to an I-bay.  The copy or move process stops at 2 Gigs, every time.

I have plenty of free space on the hard drive (87 + Gigs free).  

Is there a setting I need to adjust?

Thanks in advance

Well what are you using to copy the file?
Do you copy it from LAN or internet?

Some more info would be great.

I am using Ubuntu as my desktop machine.  I have an I-Bay automounted to a desktop short cut.  I also have the 3 gig file on the desktop.

I have tried:

1.  Open the Ibay icon and "drag n drop" the file to copy it over.  The operation stops after 2 Gigs.

2.  Via a terminal window, tried both the copy and move commands.  Again the operation stops at 2 Gigs.

3.  Tried to download the file from the Ubuntu Computer saving the file to the I-Bay share.  Again the operation stopped after 2 Gigs.

The file I am working with is a DVD iso of a linux distribution.  Is it possible the fle type is an issue??  I am trying to put the file in a location I can access it in ordet to burn a copy to disk.

Thanks for your help.

If this is about two computers on a lan (you didn't answer about this part) post a bug.

If it's for two computers trough the internet... it could be because the line gets droped. Windows has this issue that it drops when i transfer something to sme and the file was too big.

This may be an issue with your desktop (Ubuntu) and depends on various pieces of the puzzle. Your kernel version, your samba version plus how you are mounting the server ibay onto your Ubuntu desktop.

If you are using the mount command and '-t smbfs' try adding the option '-o lfs' for large file system. You could also try mounting '-t cifs' or use smbclient instead of mount.

Thanks  Darrell

The lfs did the trick.

I was unaware of the limitation in Ubuntu.  Appreciate the quick and very helpful assist.
