Since I've used zip to compress SMB partitions over 1 GB I don't believe that it can be a "size" problem. I've tried to specify the temporary directory with the -b flag, but nothing changed. On my disk I've got about 11 GB of free space, so have you any idea or suggestion about this problem? Thanks, Luca -- Luca Ferrari, fluca1978@infinito.it
