RE: [rdiff-backup-users] Errno 27 - File too large

[Matej Pfajfar]

Just an update to the situation:

I've applied the kernel patch and a patch for the smbmount source - the
problem went away.
Thanks for your help!

Hi everyone,

It looks as if samba is the problem. Having browsed through some mailing
list archives, I do seem to have 
a version of smbfs that doesn't support large files. 

I am not able to find any patches for 2.4.18, but I found some for
2.4.20 so I'll patch manually - hopefully that will sort it out. Will
let you know how it goes.

Mat

Samba could also be the problem.

It can be compiled with and without large file support.

Can you create a large file on the NTFS system via samba?

One simple way to try is 

    dd if=/dev/zero of=ntfs_target bs=1m count=10000

That should create a 10 Gig file.
