As I wrote earlier I also can't believe it's a filesystem issue. >When you say you compiled with large file support, does that mean you >made changes to the build scripts? Samba should already build with LFS >support on Linux 2.4. Yup, I had to change the build scripts. If I remember correctly the Debian package comes with "shrink-wrapped" configure.cache files so that they would always overwrite certain changes I made to the configure statement inside debian/rules. I think that there was a already a bug filed against the non-support of large files. The poster of this bug report also mentioned that you had to recompile it in order to get LFS. OTOH everything I just wrote could be wrong. I'm currently working on a multitude of "building areas" so I could confuse something with something totally different. :-) -- L I N U X .~.
