    NAS: Error splicing file

    Hi everyone!
    I'm getting this error message while copying files from my Samba/Cifs NAS to my drive. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 using Nemo 4.4.2

    Code:
    Error while copying 'filename'
    There was an error copying the file into '/destination'
    Error splicing file: Input/output error
    cp also yields an error

    Code:
    cp /media/NAS\ Storage/file .
    cp: error reading '/media/NAS Storage/file': Input/output error
    More info & more weirdness:
    - Another machine with Ubuntu & Nautilus has the same problem
    - But my Windows machine does not
    - Files are partially copied but miss the last few MBs.
    - Opening files from my NAS in the appropriate program works fine.
    - FTP and rsync work fine
    - This is my fstab
    Code:
    # Nas Storage "Volume_1" on 192.168.1.140
    //192.168.1.140/Volume_1    /media/NAS\040Storage        cifs    credentials=/root/.smbcredentials,iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,vers=1.0 0 0
    Note: the second machine has no blank spaces in the mount point, and it still doesn't work
    - I can upload files to the NAS, copy from NAS to itself fine
    - Small files almost always work, large ones rarely (>500MB)

    Which file system do you have in the location you're copying the files to​?

    Thanks for the reply!
    My Ubuntu computers are ext4 and I tried an USB drive which I think is Fat32 (none work)

    Edit: also tried copying to a NTFS hard drive, it failed at about 40%

    I've asked because this ^^^ suggests the target is FAT32 or something, i.e., a file system that has a short limit for files size. If you try to copy a file with more than 4GB (I think) to a FAT32 partition you'll get that exact error.

    Unfortunately it seems the parameters are not those, ie. trasfers fail for ~500MB files and lower and many types of filesystem
