Hello!
As i know reiserfs file system can store huge files, bigger than 3-4 Gb.
The place where i am copying the file has reiserfs file system.
The problem is: i was copying a 4.1Gb *.iso file through samba (from WindowsXP => Suse 10.1, later I tried to copy the file using Krusader file manafer from suse 10.1, copy the file from WindowsXP to Suse) and i got an error...(disk full)- for Windows, and an error for Suse.
Please see the screenshot of the error (Windows)-

I guess the file transfer stops on 2 Gb for both cases...

Do u have any ideas what's wrong?
And how can i solve that? I really need to store big files on the suse PC.

Thanks in advance!

There seems to be conflicting information between Windows and Total Commander. If I remember correctly, Windows would notify you that the disk has reached maximum capacity via a balloon similar to the one in your screenshot. This does not appear to be the case from your screenshot, instead notifying you of a potential hardware or network problem. I have encountered a balloon message regarding limited space a few times when copying files in Windows from the machine itself to removable media, and I do not recall a message similar to the one in your screenshot in these instances. It is possible that Total Commander is reporting an incorrect error message, but this is just speculation since I am not familiar with this particular application. As much as I may cringe to myself at the following statement, though, I would "trust" the Windows balloon message and go from there.

Also, from your post:
These two methods appear to be the same type of transfer method. Did you mean:

Just curious to this, that's all.

swampdog2002: i have the same error even when i copy the file using krusader from suse..

I'm not too certain of what to recommend to you as a possible solution, but are there any sorts of programs, either on the Windows or SuSE computers, that enable some sort of power-saving features? An example may be that, after a period of inactivity, certain hardware (hard drives, network connections) may essentially go to "sleep" or hibernate mode, thereby eliminating any sort of existing file transfers. As an example of my own, I can remember that when I was transferring files from my laptop to my desktop computer, the laptop eventually hibernated, which disabled the network card until system activity resumed. Just a thought.
