Actually they are both linux. I'm using Samba because nfs just won't work
on any of our RH 6.0 or 6.2 boxes. The transfer is to the machine that is
crashing. So far one or more file is transferred.
I am processing these files into a compressed format. If I run my
processing application n the file over the samba link, that is fine. The app
takes a wile to process the whole file, so only a few kb is actually moved at
any given time. From this I assume it has something to do with either large
data throughput or large data write to disk.
Copying large files from directory to directory does not seem to cause a
lockup.
