Data transfer just stops

[Doug Bissett]

I am using: ===================== Samba Client Versions:
File system EVFS Version 1.001
Plugin file \ecs\dll\ndpsmb.dll
Plugin Vendor Netlabs.org
Plugin Revision 2.00.0.0
Plugin Date/Time 13 Dec 2010 15:40:09
Plugin Build Machine tpr60
Plugin Language Code en
Plugin File Version 2.0
Plugin Description NDPSMB - SMBFS NetDrive External Plugin Build beta1
Commandline utilities Version 3.0.37-eCS 1.0.5-457
EVFSGUIVersion 2.1 beta2 [2010-12-26]
===========================

I connect a whole drive on the server as a drive letter (V:), then attempt to use BackAgain/2000, on the client, to do a backup to directory on the attached drive. It gets to something over 95% of about 1236 MB, and just stops. I can use the drive letter to view files on the V: drive, but the backup will not continue. I have to kill the backup to break out of it.

If I then try to stop the server, it cuts two procdumps. They are both 1355 KB. I will attempt to upload them, but I suspect that they are too big (that problem needs to be fixed).

The ridiculously small upload limit (256 meg) will not allow me to upload the procdump files (that needs to be fixed). The first shows this:

Please retry with the latest revision of the Samba Plugin (2.0.1) and provide both client side and server side logs from Samba.

Sorry, I missed your update. I am now using: ========================= Samba Client Versions: File system EVFS Version 1.001 Plugin file C:\ecs\dll\ndpsmb.dll Plugin Vendor Netlabs.org Plugin Revision 2.01.1.0 Plugin Date/Time 7 Mar 2011 18:13:04 Plugin Build Machine tpr60 Plugin Language Code en Plugin File Version 2.1 Plugin Description NDPSMB - SMBFS NetDrive External Plugin Build beta1-20110307 Commandline utilities Version 3.0.37-eCS 1.0.6-565 EVFSGUIVersion 2.1.2 [2011-06-13] ======================== and it is working much better. Thanks...

You also should update EVFS.IFS to 1.002 (the one that comes with eCS 2.1) - it has significant updates over 1.001 (came with eCS upto 2.0), which improve stability and MDOS-Box compatibility.

[Doug Bissett]

Updated to evfs 1.002, It does seem to work better.
