Hello Managers,
I found something weird recently.
Have anybody experienced this problem before?
I!/m using !0smbclient!1 to transfer files from a NT box to a Solaris 2.6
machine.
It hangs 19 out of 20 times while creating a tar file. It doesn!/t hang at
the same point. Sometime it hang at the startup, sometime it hangs with 1mb
tar file.
No messages displayed at all.
Process seems just sleeping.
I have IKE VPN connection between NT machine and Solaris machine.
It just worked fine before I upgraded to Checkpoint firewall-1 NG FP2.
But I don!/t suspect our VPN connection because it always hangs while
creating a tar file, sometimes 10%, sometimes 90%. It works fine just once
out of 20 times on average.
The command I!/m using is as follows:
smbclient \\\\NT_Server\\Shared_Dir <\\\\NT_Server\\Shared_Dir> -U
${USER}%${PASSWORD} -c "tarmode reset; tar cg
Tar_file_name"
Has this phenomenon something to do with network traffic or vpn?
I think not !.cause network traffic load is not that high.
If tar itself may be the problem please let me know how I can transfer
directories with subdirectories and files from NT to Solaris machine
without creating tar files.
I appreciate your help in advance and have a great day!!
