[SOLVED] Invalid Argument - copying files from Win7 Share through gvfs to 6.4 VM

[KristopherKane]

Hello,

I have a newly baselined Win7 Ultimate host and am running 6.4 instance in VMware Workstation. Previously, I had a Mac Pro, running Win7 with 6.4 in the same VM config.
I have software that runs in the 6.4 VM and reads files via gvfs to a share on the Windows host. Initially, the read from the software didn't work so I simply tried to copy the files from host to VM via gvfs. Under the new host, this results in a 'Invalid Argument' popup when copying from Nautilus and when using cp.

Significant results from strace of cp:
write(2, "cannot open ` f"..., 42cannot open `` for reading) = 42
...
write(2, ": Invalid argument", 18: Invalid Argument) = 18

In Windows, the file is available, the user access is 'full control' and the file attributes are: AI
The problem is not isolated to this share. I can create a share from any part of the Windows filesystem and the problem persists.
I can write to the host share via gvfs.

I was told that the machine wasn't built from the ground up but some form of imaging was used that went from Mac -> new machine. They are building a new 'ground up' image but not sure that it is the real problem.

Any ideas?

So, finally figured it out.

The following link references two MS Windows reg keys that need to be changed:

An exert:

Set the following registry key to ’1′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache

Set the following registry key to ’3′:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size
