Hi, I'm running 4.8-STABLE (sources from April 7). I was dumping my = filesystems to files on an smbfs share (a Win2k box), and I found that dumping more = than 4Gb in 1 file resulted in a corrupted dumpfile. So as a quick test, I = dd'd /dev/zero to a test file on the smbfs share to see what happened at the = 4Gb boundary.=20 [root@britersen:/mnt/dump]# ll -h test && ll test -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3G May 19 20:28 test* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4292345856 May 19 20:28 test* [root@britersen:/mnt/dump]# ll -h test && ll test -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 640K May 19 20:28 test* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4295884800 May 19 20:28 test* [root@britersen:/mnt/dump]# ll -h test && ll test -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7M May 19 20:28 test* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4302749696 May 19 20:28 test* [root@britersen:/mnt/dump]# ll -h test && ll test -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4G May 19 20:28 test* -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 4307271680 May 19 20:28 test* Note how the humanised output suddenly wraps back to 0, and then somehow fixes itself. Is this a known problem with smbfs? Petersen
