Are you using smbmount on one side (i.e. mount -t smbfs..... )? The smbmount program was supposedly using an old samba codebase that didn't yet go over 2GB. I've had this problem writing to a Win2k box from a RedHat 9 box running 2.2.8a before.


If not using a mount point, by what method were you copying?

Yes, I'm using smbmount (via mount -t smbfs... as you indicated). I'm not sure how else I would connect, "net use" isn't supported yet apparently. Is there another app I should be using to connect?

You could try to use the smbclient and operate that ftp like syntax, although if you're doing something like I was, which was creating a tar file on the mount, that doesn't help you much. Of course you could always go the route of using nfs since you're going between two nix boxes here.


I believe I read that the error is actually in the kernel.org source tree, and not necessarily in any distributions particular tree. Could anyone confirm that statement with more authority?
