I know that in Debian the 2Gb limit magically went away on ext2/ext3 (possibly even on kernel 2.2 IIRC) when libc6 was updated at some point during development this year (before woody, the current stable, was released). I would have thought MDK8.2 would be recent enough to support 2Gb files... See if you can create a 2Gb file on the local machine to test one way or the other; assuming you have shell access, try something like dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/test.dat bs=1k count=300 This should create a 3Gb file on the local disk (assuming you have enough disk space on that partition, of course :) HTH Andrew -- ANDREW FUREY [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Sysadmin/developer for Terminus.

Re: [Samba] 2gb limit weird filenames
You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I've had 2gb files on my ext3 drives, 2.4.x kernel.

RE: [Samba] 2gb limit weird filenames
For the record, stock RedHat 7.3 kernel (2.4.18-18.7.x) supports files greater than 2GB. Rather than debating the point as to whether various things theoretically support 2GB files or not, it's rather easy to empirically determine support using dd to create a file greater than 2GB.

Re: [Samba] 2gb limit weird filenames
I just tried the example. Under a Mandrake 7.1 box running ext2, the file dies at 2gb. However, under Mandrake 8.2 and 9 with ext3, it DOES work (as in, there is no 2gb limit). So that being the case (that it's not the filesystem), why isn't Samba handling 2gb files?

Re: [Samba] 2gb limit weird filenames
I have seen the same 2 GB problem on my IRIX running 6.5.17 using an XFS file system. I backup my Windows box to our SGI server and the backup file is about 5.5GB when finished. This was working fine with samba 2.2.4 but as soon as I upgraded to 2.2.7 it stops the transfer at the 2GB limit exactly. The function which throws the error is smbd/fileio.c seek_file and I checked the size of the typedef SMB_OFF_T is 8 bytes as it should be but the pos variable toggles from +2^13-1 to -2^31 as if somewhere in the chain of calls to that procedure it is passed as a int (32 bits) instead of a long (64 bits) on my system. I am currently trying to back-track the call stack at that point which is going slowly, if anyone has a suggestion on how to quickly do that, aside from looking at the code I would appreciate it.
