OK, it worked !! This is the difference:
This fstab entry DOESN'T ALLOW files over 2 GB limit: //(ip addr)/(resource) /mnt/samba smbfs auto,dmask=777,fmask=777,username=pepe,password=pepino,rw 0 0 This fstab entry DOES ALLOW files over 2 GB limit: //(ip addr)/(resource) /mnt/samba smbfs lfs,auto,dmask=777,fmask= 777,username=pepe,password=pepino,rw 0 0 It was exactly that: the lfs option, what I was looking for. Thanks for your precious help, gentlemen. Saludos / BRGDS José R. Barón Dpto. Sistemas CALCULO S. A.

I don't know about cifs. The Linux we do this same exact thing (linux to windoz) on is an older release of Linux and still supports smbfs file type and we have to use lfs. Fedora Core 6 no longer supports smbfs (file type) and you must use cifs. FedCore 5 seems to support it. i.e. a friend of mine says it(smbfs) still works on his version. I get invalid filetype on the FedCore 5 I run. My friend is a bit of a hacker so he most likely figured a way around it.
