Problem with copying from samba shared directory to pen drive

[Paul Smith]

Dear All

I have a samba shared directory from which I am trying to copy a file
to a pen drive. However, all that I get is a copied file with 0 bytes.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Paul

Sorry, I have just found out that the pen drive has no enough available space.

The problem remains, unfortunately. If I copy first the file from the
samba shared directory to Desktop and then from the Desktop to the pen
drive, no problem occurs. Any ideas?

Before or after you remove the drive and take it somewhere else ?
Can you turn debugging up on the Samba server if the former ?

Thanks, Tom. The problem happens after having unplugged and plugged
again the pen driver.

Apparently, the problem is isolated: if I remove the pen drive with
the "safe remove" option of KDE, then the reported problem occurs; if
I use 'umount /dev/sda1' instead, no problem occurs. Do others
experience the same?
