Here are my tests using a LM8.1 ( samba 2.2.2 ext2 ) and LM9 ( samba 2.2.7 ext3)
Using Tar to copy 8Gig comprising 5 folders and umpteen files. From to File system Max file size allowed Max file size system LM8.1 LM9 ext3 2Gig 4Gig LM8.1 Win2000 ntfs 2Gig 4Gig LM8.1 Win98 fat32 2Gig 4Gig Also tried using cp, as above, with a 4Gig file and it still bombed out at 2Gig. So it looks like if you want to copy a file out of or into a samba server that's bigger than 2G. forget it. It doesn't even respect the target operating systems max file size. Any answers from the Samba Team ?

Are you comforatable patching source code and re-building Samba ?
