I just ran a quick test, and was not able to reproduce this issue with
the mount_smbfs from FreeBSD 7.0. I tried against a Windows 2003
Server SP2, Windows XP SP3, and Samba 3.0 {on FreeBSD 7} with a 3.5GB
file.
Was your issue with reading from or writing to a SMB share ?
It was writing to a smb share.
What is the server software and OS version ?
(if Microsoft Windows, please include Service Pack number as well, as
it might make a difference)
Windows 2003 server 32bit.
How much disk space is left on your server volume ?
Over a terabyte free
Are there disk quotas enabled on the server ?
None
What error message are you getting from your FreeBSD client (if any) ?
No error message, it just stopped writing at 1 Gb. I was doing this using scp.
Can you check the smb server logs and see if you are getting any error
messages there ?
Well I'm just mounting the volume to FreeBSD from the Windows server so not
sure I'll find much in the logs besides the system log, but I will look.
You may want to get a Wireshark trace and see if you can capture the
SMB error message/error code.
I have heard of people running into similar problems when running
against older server software (NT 4.0/old samba) when the SMB session
did not negotiate large file/large write support (a function of the
SMB server capabilities session negotiation)
I saw posts to that effect and that you needed samba 3.x to support large
files sizes, and the lfs option. But the mount_smbfs doesn't offer any
large file option.

smbmount is not included in the FreeBSD port of samba, as it is Linux
kernel specific. mount_smbfs(8) is the correct userland app.
You could always try the samba smbclient(1) to access SMB shares using
an FTP-like environment.
I saw that as an option. I may try that to test this issue.

Sorry I do not have a good solution for you. Perhaps someone else
will give you better advice.
Thanks for the help!
