<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.

<div>Elimination for success was only network (hardware) all software and OS behaved consistently Plus see below</div><br>

<div>With FC1 max file size (as U say) is 3m......whereas problem is with large files and "on network" -> again elimination takes us to network card.</div><br>

<p><font face="Arial" size="2"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">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.

<div>Is the control group same (identical) for FC1 and FC3, and has a mix of small and gigsize files?</div>
<div>If UR sure that the same worked on FC1 then it would be worth to try using network card's FC1 drivers on FC3 !!! and befriend Bugzilla.</div>
<div>(I recall a <a href="https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=161242">case</a> of VGA monitors between FC3 and FC4.) </div>

<div>otherwise..</div>
