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.

Any help?

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. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

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