Description Pierre COLOMBIER 2004-06-13 15:08:20 UTC 
I tried to transfer big files (more than 1Go) from a machine with windowsXPpro
to a linux server running Samba.
I did it over a 100M ethernet network.
then i used md5sum to check the files : the files are different (but the size 
is the same)

I tried again and again. same problem.
it seems to happen especially when file size excess 100Mo
in fact, I've never been able to transfer a 1.7Go file without corruption.

usually, only a few bytes get corrupt but this is EXTREMELY harmful with .zip 
or .rar archives ! 

there is no problem with SCP or FTP. so, I think it is a problem in the 
transport protocol. isn't there some error detection algorythm in the SMB 
protocol?

size but different MD5
