Try doing the same thing against Samba with a Linux
client (using CIFSFS). If it works correctly then
you are running into a Windows client bug.

To be honest, this is more likely to be low RAM in the client
reading the file (it's a Windows client, isn't it ?). I recall that
Windows clients require a certain percentage of the file
size to allocate for the oplock RAM cache (or some such
thing - Windows client internals aren't my strong suit,
except how they behave on the network).

What is the client RAM size ?

Is it possible the problem could be due to low RAM in the Linux server? It

Huh ? I don't recall ever telling you explicitly how
to set the debuglevel option. I do normally assume people
have read the docs enough to know how to set up and post
a debug level 10 log, maybe that is expecting a little too
much, but if I had to write out basic instructions to everyone

I'm sorry you're having problems, but remember other
people have other priorities. I have a family member
in hospital undergoing urgent care. Yes, they're going
to be ok but please understand why I didn't spend time
looking at your request right now.

The follow up poster is correct, if you really need
a guarenteed response time you should contract with
a vendor who can provide this. This list doesn't have
a response time promise attached I'm afraid.

Lance,

I know you are in the middle of this and this is not very helpful but for 
future reference:

If you have critical Samba support needs,  I would recommend you contract a 
samba support company.   It is what we do and we are able to react to 
emergencies immediately when necessary when we put the right resources in place.

I would highly recommend http://sernet.de and http://tummy.com

Both answers are distribution specific. Basically your distro provides
you with a default configuration file. On mine logging is enabled by
default at level 2 or 3 I believe.

Can you post a debug level 10 of the smbd log when you try

If you want only copy any file very larger size, you can use the smbclient
to transfer this file, the smbmount has this limitation.

Re: [Samba] File size limit in 2Gb

[Iarly Selbir]

If you want only copy any file very larger size, you can use the smbclient
to transfer this file, the smbmount has this limitation.

If memory serves me right, fat32 doesn't support larger than 2GB.  Also,
as far as I remember, if you mount with smbfs, there was an option
("lfs" maybe) that supports files of 2GB+ on the client side.

File sharing is great except when a file exceeds 1.5 - 2 GB. The file transfer

Does anyone know a workaround ? or come to that why is there such a low

Also, you could try using CIFS to mount your shares in Linux, rather 
than SMBFS.

Are you using Fat32 on your Windows machine?

are you running kernel 2.4 or 2.6?

I don't think smbfs supports large files.  Someone can correct me if I'm
wrong.  It has nothing to do with what filesystem you're using on your Linux
system; it's a limitation of the smbfs driver.

Sharing large files *from* Linux is supported by Samba, though.

Hi all,

We have a Debian Linux 3.0, running kernel 2.4.18, and all filesystems are formatted 
as ext3.

My problem is: when I try to mount an w2k share in this machine using smbmount, I 
can't see big files correctly. I suspect that the problem happens with files bigger 
then 2GB. I have a file in the w2k machine that's 4GB size, and when I mount the share 
in the linux machine, I see that file with just about 360MB!

First I tried with smbfs 2.2.3 that comes with the distro. After a I tried with 
version 2.2.8 that's avaiable at samba site as a debian package. Finally I tried with 
'unstable' version "2.999+3.0" that debian provides. Had the same results with all of 
them.

Any help?

Thanks in advance.

Re: [Samba] File size limit = 2G?

[Jon Niehof]

So it appears that Samba supports large filesystems, but not large
files. Is this a configuration issue or a 32bit limitation in Samba??

This isn't a samba (server) issue; rather it's an smbmount 
and kernel (client) issue. You need the patches at 
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/

Looks to me like you're using smbmnt, which isn't technically part of
samba - it's part of the kernel. Urban Widmark has patches to enable
large file support at http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/ 

Note, this was discussed in the archives recently. Use the archive
search at marc.theaimsgroup.com before posting questions.
