What is the exact FS COPY DIRECTORY request that you are running that
hangs?

Does it always hang?  Or, does it sometimes work?  Does it hang after
copying the same number of bytes for the same .zip file in the directory,
or do the number of bytes copied vary?

Are you sure the FS COPY request is "hung"?   That is, have you used a
"STAF fromMachine FS LIST COPYREQUESTS LONG" request (substituting the host
name of the fromMachine -- the machine where the directory is being copied
from), to verify that the number of bytes copied hasn't changed for a
while?  And, have you used a "STAF toMachine FS LIST COPYREQUESTS LONG"
request  (substituting the host name of the toMachine -- the machine where
the directory is being copied to), to verify that the number of bytes
copied hasn't changed for a while?  Please provide the results from these
STAF FS LIST COPYREQUESTS requests while the FS COPY request is hung.

Is it possible you are running out of space on the "to machine"?

Is it possible you are experiencing network issues during the copy of the
directory (which could be causing the problem)?

Try enabling STAF tracing by running the following TRACE service requests
on both the "from machine" and the "to machine":

  STAF local TRACE ENABLE TRACEPOINT "Warning"
  STAF local TRACE SET DESTINATION TO FILE <Fully-qualified file name of
your choice>

Then run the STAF FS COPY DIRECTORY request that hangs.  When it hangs,
check the contents of the trace files on both the "from machine" and the
"to machine".  Perhaps some warnings will be logged that provide more info.
Please provide the trace results.

Hi

Thanks for the tip; I can see there is currently one directory copy ongoing
although I effectively killed it by closing the file STAF was stuck on (via
Process Explorer). Closing this file on the server end made the client job
fail at least. Is the server job actually still alive even though the
client job gave up with an error?

That being said, this doesn't help me figuring out why STAF hangs. I have
narrowed the case down to a directory with one zip file measuring in at 600
+ MB. Trying to copy that directory will hang after so little as ~50 MB has
been copied to the remote machine :( I have been able to copy that file by
itself though (using "COPY FILE" instead of "COPY DIRECTORY").

Thanks,
Arve

  Hi,

  You can use the FS LIST COPYREQUESTS command:

   Hi

   The copying of a large directory from one machine to another (Red Hat
   Enterprise Linux 4u6 to Windows Server 2008 SP2) via FS COPY has become
   stuck. What's the best way of diagnosing the problem?
