VirtualBox/Machines//Logs/VBox.logĪnd the error entries I get is the following:Ġ3:00:48.582 SharedFolders host service: Cannot open '/' - too many open files.Īnd I think this error is kind of self-explanatory. To reproduce the bug, I would suggest trying to read and write randomly inside a virtual Windows machine to say 250 files of varying size between 1 and 20MB each using some kind of multithreaded approach so that there are many file open requests (for both read and write/modify) in a short period of time.

Perhaps there is a glitch in the virtual network driver (backend/frontend?) that makes it choke or behave in a bad way when there are too many "file open" requests at a given time. The error is intermittent and it seems that there is something that occasionally prevents the files that are shared over this virtual network to open either for read or write. I use VirtualBox 3.2.14 accompanied with the latest guest additions.
#UBUNTU COPY TO WINDOWS SHARE ZERO BYTE FILE WINDOWS 7#
I have this problem on a Virtual Windows 7 圆4 machine running on an OpenIndiana 151a host. Also for completeness I did investigate file size and a couple of other things. I haven't looked closely if other file types (.com. If I get a chance, I'll run procmon (sysinternals) and see if that shows something up, but am busy tomorrow.įrom memory, I concur that copying from vbox shared folder fails, to shared succeeds. There must be something different about COPY's (and the Explorer/shell) behaviour when copying executable files. I renamed back and forth between temp.dat and temp.exe several times with same effect, while called exe it didn't work.


rw-r-r- 1 walter walter 286 12:31 affected.txt I don't think there is much to be gleaned from this as it is just a big dumping ground / transfer area, but since you asked here's a small flavour of ls -l /data/temp dev/sda6 on /home type ext4 (rw,commit=600) dev/sda7 on /data type ext4 (rw,commit=600) If the running-setup-programs thing I mentioned is related then that is another shared folder mapped to /home/walter/my/downloads/ - /home being another ext4 partition, here's what mount shows: \vboxsrv\DataShared folder is mapped to /data/ which is an ext4 partition. Information requested on my setup (some from memory as I don't have the Windows VM running right now). The only difference is the failing file is one I *WANT* to copy, and the working file is my test junk file which I care nothing about!
#UBUNTU COPY TO WINDOWS SHARE ZERO BYTE FILE WINDOWS 8#
I can't tell what.įrom the linux side, permissions are -rw-r-r- on both files, drwxr-xr-x on both directories, and I am owner & group of both. Suddenly copy/paste stopped working from/to Windows 8 host computer to/from ubuntu virtual machine Download the appropriate VIB files So I also want to grow up the vmfs on datastore0 to 10TB organize, and transfer files within designated file system shares One method you have is an option to Migrate (say vMotion) the VM Guest to another. HOWEVER when I tried to set up a test from c:\temp\ to d:\temp\ I did not have any such issue - worked in both cases. VirtualBox Version: 4.1.0-73009~Ubuntu~natty (from APT repo )ĭ: is a shared folder from the host net use d: \vboxsrv\DataSharedĭoes not matter whether logged in normally or using a command prompt with elevated permissions. All the Desktops and Notebooks are Windows XP SP3 standartized and installed with WDS (Windows Deployment Services) and the Server where the share are is a Windows Server 2003 SP2 32 bits.Host: Kubuntu Natty 64-bit (fully up-to-date as of 2011-Jul-28) Is there a way to prevent Client Side Cache to try to cache ZERO Bytes files?

PLEASE, ANY ONE KNOWS HOW TO PREVENT IT TO HAPPEN?

#UBUNTU COPY TO WINDOWS SHARE ZERO BYTE FILE OFFLINE#
If the user has a Desktop, when he makes Logoff or shutdown, the sync process raises an error.The only way to fix is to delete the Zero Byte file IN THE SERVER SHARE and RESETING THE OFFLINE CACHE (CSC) on the user’ computer. When the problem happens, the Offline cache does not synchronize any more, and, if the user has a Notebook, when he goes out of the network, he cannot access “My ZERO Bytes file in his "My Document" folder, the CSC (Client Side Cache) stops the synchronization!!! This problem is driving crazy! There are over 300 users in my corporate and this problem is becoming more and more common. It is a great Windowsįeature (easiest way to make backups of users files!), BUT eventually when a program or a user creates a Folder Redirection Group Policy to redirect all users’ "My Document" folders to a shared folder in a Server with " Offline cache" setting (automatically make redirected folders available offline).
