Samba Version: Version 3.0.2a-SUSE
Kernel Version: Linux version 2.6.4-52-default (geeko at buildhost) (gcc
version 3.3.3 (SuSE Linux)) #1 Wed Apr 7 02:08:30 UTC 2004
Suse 9.1
When I mount a share locally and begin copying files The system Begins
to use a lot of memory, there is 512 MB of ram in the machine and after
copying about 10GB of files, the machine just stalls.
I am trying to move 225 GB of files.
Here is the Procedure:
mount //guide/music /mnt/tmp -t cifs -o username=........
cp -av /mnt/tmp/Albums/* /music/mp3
This works for about three to ten minutes, and the memory usage goes to
2GB fills up the swap file and chokes; Anybody got any ideas?
