[Bug 416313] Re: On samba of ubuntu-arm, large file copy fails

[Salil]

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for replying.

Unfortunately the bug is still observed - i did some additional triaging.
* The bug is seen only when the samba share exported is on a vfat file
system - for ext2 and ext3 the large sized copy succeeds without fail.
* I also tried using the samba package from debian-arm
repositories(lenny-stable) - but there also the problem is seen.
* Even if the error is thrown up - the file is still being copied in the
background - or ftruncate'ing in the background (I suspect it is only
ftruncating and filling the space with zeroes because of two reasons - one
the md5sums do not match afterwards and two the code seems to be doing the
same thing) - but as previously stated adding a patch to always call
ftruncate64() in sys_ftruncate() does not fix the problem.

Regards,
Salil
