Thanks for the help, I was totally unaware that smbfs and Samba were not related. If this is a recurring, annoying question, perhaps a FAQ entry would steer folks like me in the right direction (I did read that). I will check out cifsfs.

It is also NOT part of Samba. 2. smbfs has a 2GB file size limit as you found out. 3. Use CIFSFS. 4. This is not the smbfs mailing list.

Samba does NOT have a 2GB file size limit - smbfs is NOT samba.

You are NOT using Samba. If you have mounted a Windows share under Linux you will have used either smbfs or cifsfs. - John T. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
