The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Problem copying large files from windows to Samba (Redhat Linux)

Asked by drdewm in Linux Networking

Tags: samba, large, files, copying

When copying files to my Samba server approximately > 100 MB from windows xp/2000 machines I get an error message saying that the network path is no longer available after a minute or so of copying. I can copy files > 100 MB from the Samba server to the same machines with no problems. I can copy any number of approximately < 100 MB files to the to the same Samba server. Linux machines can send and receive files of any size and number. I have other Samba servers running that do not have these problems and I copied the smb.conf's from the to this server but the issue remained. This Linux instalation is in an iSseries guest partition using nat subnetting via virtual networking. All other systems such as FTP, SSH, telnet, HTTP are working as expected. I matched the MTU's of the virtual and the line descriptions to be 1496. My config allows guest access with security=share so there are no security issues and the file system permissions are wide open also.

My Samba log is filled with the following messages: [2004/08/26 15:31:09, 0] smbd/oplock.c:request_oplock_break(1244)
  request_oplock_break: no response received to oplock break request to pid 28509 on port 45506 for dev = 7001, inode = 4096

Thanks for your attention and if any more info is needed i will provide asap.
