I just ran into the same 2 GB limit issue after performing a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and attempting to restore files from a OSX (Snow Leopard) share. The file that fails is 2.8 GB in size and gives an "invalid argument" error when reaching 2 GB.
I did some testing to see if the issue is operating system dependent . Here's what I found : Host (share) | file transfer direction | Client | Result OSX (Snow Leopard) -> Ubuntu 10.04 FAIL OSX (Snow Leopard) -> Ubuntu 9.10 FAIL OSX (Snow Leopard) <- Ubuntu 10.04 OK OSX (Snow Leopard) <- Ubuntu 9.10 OK Ubuntu 10.04 <- OSX (Snow Leopard) OK OSX -> Windows 7 OK Windows 7 -> Ubuntu 10.04 OK Windows 7 -> Ubuntu 9.10 OK Ubuntu 9.10 Server (samba) <- OSX (Snow Leopard) OK Ubuntu 9.10 Server (samba) -> Ubuntu 10.04 OK Ubuntu 9.10 Server (samba) -> Ubuntu 9.10 OK Ubuntu 9.10 -> Ubuntu 10.04 OK Ubuntu 10.04 -> Ubuntu 9.10 OK Basically, I only get this error when trying to copy from an OSX share to a Ubuntu client. Transferring the file from a Ubuntu client to the OSX share works fine. Any other OS mixes do not have an issue in my environment.
