hey..i hope this was also adressed at
me..
well, i tried both, to do a smbclient
//hostname/share -Tc localdir/file to copy the file ( >2 gbyte) to the
unix machine. and i also tried to do a normal smbclient login and then to "get"
the file. the smbclient -T starts to trunc the file, it's suddenly much
smaller. the get in the smbclient shell let's the file growth
infinte, until it fills the whole hdd (80Gbyte :-( ) any
idea?
(we got around it with having smaller
backups, and doing most of the stuff with smbclient -T directly out of the main
directorys, not the windows backup. but that's not really, what i
want/like.
thx
patrick

Please send me some more details. Are you using smbclient to transfer
to
>2Gb file? Or are you copying it to the Samba box from a windows
client?
