We just had a discussion about this on this list: though from DOS'
point of view it is a network drive and the size is not important (since
open/read/write/close/etc file commands get translated into Linux
commands, which samba then once again transforms towards the "real" file
server), the limit is application-dependend: many DOS applications check
free space and get confused if there is more than 2GB. Others may work
fine. In general, staying below 2GB is safe, but this is not a hard limit.
