Canot not copy large file on windows server.

[vavramidis]

Hi @ all.

i have an HP DL 380 G6 Server
(Windows Server 2007 Standard SP2
Intel XEON CPU X5560 @ 2.80 GHz (2 processors), 4GB RAM ,32bit)

which has the following problem.

I can not copy large files (e.g 2-5G).It stuck on the 'calculating' process. If i press the cancel button, my PC also stuck and i have to reboot it.

This problems appears at his local hard disk (NTFS/RAID 5) and at another one which points with an iSCSI in an EMC Clarion CX120.

The strange thing is that it was working well for a long time and it first came up when we disabled the iSCSI connection due Test Purposes.When we enabled it back, we came across with that situation.

It is not a network issue because i have check all the relative firewall and routing things and nothing has changed.


any ideas guys?

thanks in advance.

Have you tried using RoboCopy?

I agree I wouldn't try to copy of a file that large using Windows explorer. If you use Robocopy you can see if there are any errors being generated during the copy process (like CRC errors)

Just this past weekend I used Robocopy to copy over around 400Gb of stuff. Worked like a charm and it runs super fast too. Of course both servers were connected to the same Gb switch, so that didn't hurt things either.
