I have the following setup:
- Vista Ultimate machine for windows media center (using xbox as an extender)
- VMware server 2 (latest beta)
- Ubuntu 8.04 server 32bits as guest on vmware.
On the vista host, I share a directory by normal file sharing. I mount that share on the ubuntu guest, using cifs. fstab line:
//media-center/media /media-center cifs rw,uid=walto,gid=users,credentials=/etc/media-center.credentials 0 0
When the vista machine boots, I can mount this share and work with it fine.
I use hellanzb on ubuntu to download nzb files. All the downloading is done on the ubuntu filesystem, but the finished files (after par2 and unrar) go to a dir on the windows share, so my media center can pick them up.
When it starts copying the data, after a while, I get "cannot allocate memory" errors. So I unmount the share and try to mount it again: no luck. I get the:
mount error 12 = Cannot allocate memory
I have to restart windows to resolve this. And it goes wrong every time.
I've read on the internet and found about the IRPStackSize in the windows registry. I've created that key and upped to 40 eventually (I was getting desperate), but no change.
sooooo..... Anybody got an idea what's going wrong here? And how I can solve it?
Thanx for helping me think!
Greetings, Walter.
