Description

Name: rmT116609			Date: 10/15/2003


FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.4.2"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-b28)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-b28, mixed mode)

FULL OS VERSION :
Microsoft Windows 2000 [Version 5.00.2195]

A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
File copy to Windows share and SAMBA share using NIO FileChannels fails with large file sizes (+100MB).

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Map a shared directory on a remote machine. The directory should be either a SAMBA share or an NT share.
2. Run the attached NIOCopy.java class providing a large file (+100MB) as the first parameter.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
The file should be copied.
ACTUAL -
An exception is thrown.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Copy one file to another, one buffer at a time using the ByteBuffer class.
