Salil, did you try newer version of Ubuntu ARM? Does the issue persist?

Title:
  [arm] large file copy fails from a vfat filesystem through samba

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: samba

  I am using ubuntu-arm on Sheevaplug platform - Jaunty-9.04 - A samba share is exported, I can access it fine from windows copy/paste  small sized files easily. But when I try to copy a larger sized file, greater than 100 M or so, the copy fails after a minute or so saying 'Network Name is no longer available'. Now the copying is still going on in the background - because I can see the size of the file increasing via console on the sheevaplug.  I have fair reason to believe that this might be the call to ftruncate() which is taking a lot of time. So a way out might be to compile samba again with 'enable large-file' support of something similar.
  Right now it appears to be broken.
