Windows 7 can't copy file - Error 0x800700DF: The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be
- by JJGroover
Any attempt to copy files larger than about 40 MB from a network share (a SAN running open filer / Samba) to my local machine running Windows 7 always results in the following error and the copy fails:
Error 0x800700DF: The file size exceeds the limit allowed and cannot be saved.
I've tried copying to my C: drive and a USB drive with the same results. Smaller files copy just fine. Clearly 40 MB is not that big of a file so I'm assuming it is some buggy interaction between windows 7 and Samba perhaps. Google has so far turned up nothing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
