RE: copying a 12GB file


smbmount //other_machines_IP_or_name/share_name /mnt/c -o
lfs,username=blah,password=blah

the lfs in the middle gives samba Large File Support. I couldn't copy
anything bigger than 2Gig without it

I missed the first message, so I'm quoting from a quote:

Hi,

how can I copy a 12GB file at reasonable speed over a
1000Mbit ethernet
connection from one computer (mailserver) to another (SAMBA
file server
or my workstation) without going to lengths like installing an FTP
server or the like on the mailserver?

File size limit is 2GB with smbmount; NFS will take about
14 hours(!)
because copying fails after about 1--2 GB with an I/O error
unless using
sync mode.

Is there a reason you cannot use scp? Even with an old
766MHz I was able to
image a 10gb hard drive with a chain of 'cat | ssh "cat >
file"' in around a
half hour over 100mbit. If you set up ssh keys you won't
need a password and
can thus automate it if required.
