Subject: [gentoo-user] transfer large files via samba cause system freeze

1 I tried to transfer a large file (~300MB) to a windows machine from my
2 gentoo laptop:
3
4 # mount -t cifs //winbox/movies /mnt/samba -o iocharset=utf8,umask=0000
5 # exit
6 $ cp largefile.avi /mnt/samba
7
8 The transfer starts and eats 100% of my CPU. However, after transfered
9 ~40MB of data, my linux system freezed: mouse point doesn't move,
10 keyboad doesn't response, even Ctrl-Alt-Del has no effects. The only
11 thing I can do is hard-reset my laptop.
12
13 If I share this file via samba server and use windows explorer on the
14 winbox to retrieve it, it works.
15
16 It seems something wrong with the samba client?
