Hi all-

I just wiped a hard drive, re-installed 10.2, updated until 10.2.8. Now, the system keeps logging the user off every few minutes, not really regularly but every so often (several times a day). Are there any patches for this?

I'm reluctant to move this computer onto 10.3 because we tried moving a 15G file over the network using a panther machine and it crashed the whole network. So what solutions can there be to this logging off situation? The designer is getting annoyed.

thanks- greg

Uh... a 15 GIG file? Files of that size really are not too safe to move around except by dedicated hard drive transport. I have a feeling SMB only wants to work with files < 2 GB. (Probably programmed to deny files of that size so that it wouldn't mistakenly put a file on a FAT-16 disk and destroy the disk.)

I guess it depends on the file system and what OS you are running as the XFS maximum file size for Gentoo, SuSe and Mandrake using Linux 2.4, the maximum accessible file offset is 16TB on 4K page size and 64TB on 16K page size. Filesystem extents (contiguous data) are configurable at file creation time using fcntl and are multiples of the filesystem block size. Single extents can be up to 4 GB in size.
I have several 3GB+ tars on a RedHat 9 server.
The problem with logging out sounds like the WindowServer is crashing.
