Hello, This is my first post to the mailing list, I'll try not to do too many annoying things :-) I'm having an issue when transferring large files (~350 MB) from a Windows XP machine to a Samba share on a FreeBSD server. The transfer starts fine and then after a few minutes, Windows shows that the transfer has only gone about 50% and the BSD box is locked up completely - I can't input anything directly from the console. However, after rebooting the BSD machine, I find that the file has transferred successfully in it's entirety. I don't have any problems with the disk otherwise, as far as day to day Samba use. This is just a small home network - no other users were using any resources at the time. The machine has two disks, ad0 for the OS and ad1 for /export Here is the error message that I see at the console when the machine is locked up: ad1: TIMEOUT - WRITE_DMA retrying (2 retries left) LBA 7550143 Some other services running on the BSD box are squid, privoxy, and named. uname output: FreeBSD turpin 5.4-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.4-RELEASE #0: Sun May 8 10:21:06 UTC 2005 root@harlow.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 samba-3.0.14a_1,1 xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> Thank you for any input. Brian
