Large backup files from ntbackup to a samba share

[Ivan Fernandez]

Hi again,

	this is what actually happens while ntbackup creates the file over the
share:


pokeball:/backup1# ls -l
total 4173588
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin           0 Oct 13 14:11 A7B4G5J1.BJ3
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin    4278197248 Oct 13 14:31 kwisatz.bkf
pokeball:/backup1# ls -lh
total 4.0G
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin           0 Oct 13 14:11 A7B4G5J1.BJ3
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin        4.0G Oct 13 14:31 kwisatz.bkf
pokeball:/backup1# ls -l
total 918624
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin           0 Oct 13 14:11 A7B4G5J1.BJ3
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin        7168 Oct 13 14:31 kwisatz.bkf

.... in any point between 4.0 and 4.1 Gb, samba reports 0 bytes and counter
starts over BUT!!!! keep reading. Once I stop ntbackup or restart samba look
at this:

pokeball:/backup1# ls -l
total 12
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin           0 Oct 13 14:11 A7B4G5J1.BJ3
-rwxrw-r--    1 admin    admin    4295040000 Oct 13 14:32 kwisatz.bkf

... The file is brought back to its REAL size!!!!

so... ntbackup bug? samba bug? any help??

Thanks a lot.
