Hi Frank,
smbfs has a 2GB limitation. Look at using 'cifs' as a replacement.
Cheers,
Mark

I'm running into a 2gig file limit when copying files from a linux machine
running smbmount 3.0.2a-Debian and kernel 2.4.23 connecting to another
debian machine running smbd 3.0.2a-Debian with the stock 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel
that comes with debian stable (though the machine has been upgraded to sid).
If I run this on the client side
dd if=/dev/zero of=test.junk bs=1k
it eventually fails at the 2gig mark. If I run it on the server side, while
running 'ls -l' on the client side, the file size is reported correctly up
to 2 gigs. Ex:
-rwxr-xr-x1 jenkins jenkins 1988903936 Mar 15 19:57 test.junk
As the 'dd' on the server side passes 2gigs, the filesize reported by 'ls
-l' on the client side jumps up a tad:
-rwxr-xr-x1 jenkins jenkins 18446744071976267776 Mar 15 20:00 test.junk
Any idea what is causing this? I've tried searching around on google, and it
seems this was a problem back in 2000-2002, but was fixed in one of the 2.*
versions, so I'm not sure why I'm having this problem.
Thanks, Frank
