I have a pair of log files of similar size and format that always are
truncated somewhere at around the 16000'th out of 19000+ lines when I
copy them from a Samba 2.2.8 VMS system to a Linux system running Samba
3.0.4 and smbfs (Linux 2.6.7). A "dir/full" of one of the files is as
follows:
SYNEDT_P.BG;1 File ID: (259952,18,0)
Size: 1950/2001 Owner: [DV,BG]
Created: 20-JUL-2004 13:33:36.00
Revised: 20-JUL-2004 13:33:36.00 (7)
Expires: 20-JUL-2014 13:50:42.06
Backup: <No backup recorded>

Linkcount: 1
File organization: Sequential
Shelved state: Online
Caching attribute: Writethrough
File attributes: Allocation: 2001, Extend: 0, Global buffer count: 0
Version limit: 1
Record format: VFC, 2 byte header, maximum 0 bytes, longest 3828
bytes
Record attributes: Print file carriage control
RMS attributes: None
Journaling enabled: None
File protection: System:RWED, Owner:RWED, Group:RWED, World:
Access Cntrl List: None
Client attributes: None
If I convert the file using this stream.fdl and then copy the file, it
is no longer truncated by the copy:
FILE
ORGANIZATION sequential
RECORD
BLOCK_SPAN yes
CARRIAGE_CONTROL carriage_return
FORMAT stream_lf
I cannot reproduce the truncation when I copy the file from the VMS
system to a Win2K system. Nor can I reproduce the truncation when I use
GNOME nautilus to copy the file.
Any idea what might be going wrong, here?
