Serving files via alias or linked folders in Apache (possible mount problem)


I'm using Apache 2.x under Fedora6, and I am a nub to Apache. I'm not sure if this is an Apache problem, or possibly a mount question.


The problem is that the remote file is only getting partially served. i.e. if it's an image file, only the first 1/6th or so of the image gets served and the rest is aborted. This happens on both the LAN side and the 'net side, and whether I use Firefox or IE. So I don't think it's a browser or router problem.

In addition to an alias in the Apache conf file, I've also tried using a symbolically link folder name in my /var/www/html DocumentRoot path, and also making a mount point directly under that path. Both of these give me the same result (partial image load).

The mount is a cifs (i.e. mount -t cifs) to an ext3 partition that is inside a NAS (Buffalo LinkStation Pro). But again it only partially serves the images (I've also noticed that if you hit Refresh a few times on the browser, a little bit more of the image appears).


I don't think it's a permissions problem (otherwise why would Apache server a partial portion, it would either Deny or Allow the entire file). Is it possible whatever software mounts remote ext3 partitions has a problem? The samba server has a problem? The NAS itself has a problem?


Any suggestions here? Thanks!!!


note: I just tried aliasing to an NTFS mount, and am getting the same result as the ext3 mount.
