Sorry for the cross post, but the environment calls for it.
I'm running a RHL9 server, and an FC2 client.
Whether by NFS or SMB, I'm running into the same problem.
On my FC2 client system, I'm trying to create a 3.5GB file on the RHL9 based server. Every time I try, though, I get stuck at the 2GB mark.
this is a problem with smbfs. It's known to have a 2GB limit. perhaps you can try using cifs?
I was working on a server that I setup and was transfering an 8 gig+ file via ftp to the server which transfered without problem. When transferring the file from the server to the client machine, the file stopped transfer at 4 gb or 2 gb (memory fails for exactness). When trying to view the 8gb file in the http server, it also disapeared at a size greater than 4 gb area and was not visible from the http server.
I then resorted to samba to transfer the 8 gb+ file to the client from the samba share on the server.
My question: Is there a 4gb limit for http and ftp outgoing on Fedora? If so, how would one overcome the 4 gb limit? Samba using the default setup seems to not have the file size limitation.
