The kernel filesystem used on the backup server must support large files (most local linux filesystems do). You can test this on the server using dd if=/dev/zero or something. Your glibc must support large files. 2.2.something does that ok. Your samba must be compiled so that it supports large files (it should, but ...). Not really sure how to detect this from a samba binary. The backup program on the NT box must support creating files larger than 2G. It probably does. NTFS is not the problem, any fat usage might be. /Urban -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
