Tar or Samba issue, "File size limit exceeded"
OK, I am trying to make a large tar file and put it on my fileserver. I run the tar command to do that, it begins, then fails saying "File size limit exceeded (core dumped)". Checking my server, the Tar started to be made, and the file is 2,097,152KB, or 2GB.
Researching this another forum said to use ulimit to set some new limits, I did that and ti did not work. I found another site that said to check dmesg, and at the end of what it displays I do see something strange: [ 7019.659859] SMB connection re-established (-5) [ 8095.190220] smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-13, breaking [ 8355.200345] smb_proc_readdir_long: error=-13, breaking [ 8697.449955] smb_writepage_sync: failed write, wsize=4096, write_ret=-512 ulimit -a displays: core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 20 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) unlimited real-time priority (-r) 0 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) unlimited virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited So why is this failing at 2GB? How do I fix this? Ubuntu 7.04 64bit The share on my server is mounted locally with the filesystem smbfs (using the -t switch of the mount command) |
It is a limitation of samba. I'm not sure off-hand if there is any setting modification that can be made to copy larger than 2GB.

Issue was resloved by using cifs instead of smbfs.....this is not limitation of Samba, but a limitation of smbfs
