The smb file system driver in Linux 2.4 has a 2GB size limit.
Actually, according to the samba team, the 2Gb limit is actually if you use
mount -t smbfs command which is not within the scope of samba. they
recommend using smbclient.
well there's something I didn't know - and I've been using Samba since pre v2... never been an issue for me. I've got several SMB shares mounted from /etc/fstab on a variety of Windoze boxen, one of them is a +-15gb mp3 share - no problems.
I'm using 2.4.xx, but AFAIR this wasn't a problem on 2.2.xx kernels either -- so I'm curious, where is this limit defined? I run Samba 2.2.1 (patched) and 3.0.0-15 here.
