I am experiencing a problem on my FC3 file server with large
files (1gb and larger) being corrupted when transferring the files to a usb
drive over the network. I can transfer the same set of files to the internal
hard drive over the network with no problems. I can transfer the same set of
files from the internal hard drive to the usb drive with no problem. I have transferred
the files from a Windows XP machine and a Windows 2000 machine with the same
sort of corruption occurring. The problem only occurs when transferring the
files across the network to the usb drive. I have transferred the files to the usb
drive with both a samba share and through sftp with file corruption occurring with
both types of transfers. This problem does not occur on the same machines when running
FC1. I transferred a 3.5gb set of smaller files ranging in size from 8k to 3m
with no file corruption. This problem only appears to occur with large files. I
have two different machines which I have tried this with. One is a Pentium 900
and the other is a AMD2200. Using a control group of 17 files and running the
transfer multiple times I have found out the corruption occurs in different
places on different files each time. Three or four files will be corrupt when transferring
to the AMD2200 machine while tweleve to seventeen of the files will be corrupt
on the Pentium 900 machine. This problem does not occur when I run FC1 on these
machines, but does occur when running FC3. I have tried this with several different
brands of usb drives with the same results. Anyone have any idea why this is happening? Robert S. Paxton |
