Using the SAMBA_2_2 source from CVS has changed things but it has not corrected the problem.
Using smbclient to obtain a directory listing now shows the size of a 8,522,525,696 byte file as 4227558400. When creating a tar archive of the share, the warning message is now: File size change - truncating FILE to -67408896 bytes Herb Lewis wrote: Can you try the latest CVS for SAMBA_2_2? There were some fixes checked in recently to address this. Let me know if you have problems with that version.
