Large file copy to network share not responding...


recently brought online new windows storage server 2008. trying copy large file it...winxp sp3 , hangs not responding. client machine win7 machine.

 

also getting sporadic reports of same things end-users trying copy larger files. small files not issue.

to honest, not sure start looking, has seen similar. btw, can't cancel out, have hard reboot.

it test large file copy using copy tool, show whether it's hardware/network limitation or windows having issues (buffered copying exhausting available memory?)

i've had success using eseutl copy large files, works if it's 1 off copy wouldn't want use on regular basis. check following article:

another articel on buffered i/o vs. unbuffered i/o can seen here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/granth/archive/2010/05/10/how-to-copy-very-large-files-across-a-slow-or-unreliable-network.aspx
