Folks --
I've read the FAQ at samba.org/samba/docs/FAQ, I've
searched the mailing list archives for "unexpected
network error", I've searched Google for "samba
unexpected network error", and been unable to find
anything. If there's another source of information
that I should check, I'd greatly appreciate a pointer.
I'm trying to copy files to Samba shares on a Red Hat
Linux 7.0 box from a WinNT 4.0/sp6a box. If I drag-n-
drop files larger than 1,000,000 bytes from the WinNT
hard drive to one of the Samba shares, I receive the
error "Cannot copy <file>. An unexpected network
error occurred."
I have updated the Linux box to samba-2.2.1a-20010711
using samba-2.2.1a-20010711rh70.i386.rpm from
ftp://ftp.samba.org/pub/samba/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/7.0/.
Before the update, I was using the latest Red Hat-
approved RPMs, which are v2.0.10. With this version
of Samba running, the error message I saw said something
like "Unable to copy <file>. End of file reached."
I have some users who need to back up gigabyte-size
tar files, and this bug is preventing them from doing
so. I'd really appreciate any advice anyone can offer.
Thanks in advance for your time ....
