Big files using samba with 1.9.2.7-6a

[Ulyss62]

Hi everybody
I'm using an Asus WL500g with the last firmware from Oleg 1.9.2.7-6a (Great piece of work Oleg ... many thank) and I only use features available from the http GUI (Samba demo mode for example)
Connected to my WL500g, I've a deskjet printer using LPT and a Hard Drive LaCie 250 Gb using USB.
When I try to move from my computer to my hard drive big files (700Mo... who said a DivX ?) through samba... All the system fail ... and I need to reboot my WL500g to be able to access to my hard drive using samba or ftp.
For little files (5Mo) it's works fine.
When I try to move a big file (700Mo) using FTP it's works fine too (it's pretty slow but it works), and after that using samba I can move the file from the FTP folder to another folder.
I was believing that the last release of the firmware could solve this problem of big file, It works probably but not with my configuration ... Perhaps I did something wrong :-((
If somebody can help me ...

Do you use fat32? Perhaps reformatting with ext3 would help you...

Oups!!!
I'm pretty newbie in that area.
Any tutorial to do that ?

Another point :
When I try to connect to samba using a omputer that is on another domain than the one of the WL500g, using samba, I'm prompted to enter a password for a login that is 192.168.1.1/Guest.
What is the password?
Any way to acces using samba from a different domain?
(for information FTP is working fine from this other domain)

Thank for help

Read this http://wl500g.info/showthread.php?t=3118.

As for other domains - I've not tried this, so can't help you answering a question. No passwords are set/used.

Thank Oleg for taking time to reply

My understanding is that ext3 is not useable in the win32 environnement in case of usage of my hard drive directly from the USB port of my computer ... Am I right ?
Nevertheless ... I think that you gave me the right direction for investigation... Thank again for that.

there are some ext2fs drivers for windows out there which integrate ext2 as a windows filesystem, but most are not that grade of quality at the moment. You can use http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm as a mostly good working tool which does not install a driver.

ext2 is ok, since ext3 is backward compatible. write acess will break the jornal, but router will fix this automatic when you reconnect to it.
