when I store a file biger than 2GB to a samba server version 2.2.5
everythink works fine. But when I do that with a server version 2.2.6 or
2.2.7 the saving fails on the 2GB limit. The problem can be seen with
windowsclients or with smbclient (any version > 2.2.5).

I did some debuging and find that the lseek64 fails. But I didn't find the
reason.

Is this on the same exact server, and on the same server filesystem? I ask, because on Linux at least, some of the native filesystem types still have a 2GB file size limit. My recent experience is that ext2 and ext3 still have a 2GB filesize limit by default. On the other hand, ReiserFS does not, since version 3.5.x.

Just something to consider..... it may be a Samba bug, but if the lseek64() fails, it would seem to lie in the filesystem....
