It most certainly does. I posted something here, didn't get any replies, so I went to the Samba list, where the issue was discussed hot and heavy! The 2.2.7A definitely fixed the 2gb limit problem, although apparently smbmount still has the bug, last I heard (this may now be fixed - it's been a while now since I've been off the samba list). > It's also unfair to be sitting around and yelling "Hey Mandrake when > are you going to fix this bug that no one reported?".

I reported it here on this list. If there is another place to do so, please let me know. I had hoped that since there was a 2.2.7a rpm in cooker that someone knew about it, and a fix was in the works. > as i understood it, the 2 gig limit wasa fat problem, not a Samba problem, > If this is the case, then an upgrade wouldn't fix the problem, right? If you're running on an old file system that has a 2gb limit, of course there will be a problem. But ext3 works nicely past 2gb. I ended up finding an (older now) cooker rpm that works with 9.0. First though, I tried building from source. This failed, while it worked fine on a 7.1 mandrake machine. I didn't dig too far to see why it failed. > If someone has some reference on the samba site or mailing list or > something that 2.2.7a fixes this problem explicitly, please let us > know.
