Hello and thanks for your informative web site. I went searching through looking for information on MAX file sizes with Samba, unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate what info I needed after an hour or so of searching. What OUR issues are here are we have a NAS using WinNT that our Linux server is accessing. We have a need to COPY/MOVE/TAR a file from one server (NT) to another. What my goal is, is to backup requested data (Files in excess of 15GB) in TAR format to a given location on our NAS, building a TAR file throughout the day, then in the evening (Say 12AM) we would GZip the file down for further Archiving. What the issue is, is I can't work with files greater than 1.8GB, the File Sytem shows this is the size of the file, even if it is larger than 10GB.
Since these are '/mnt' drives, I can't figure out if our problem is Linux, or Samba related. We are using RedHat 7.0 (I know that 7.2 is avaible) and it came with Samba 2.0.10. Would ALL of these issues be dealt with in the new version of RH 7.2?? Or will I still experience file size problems even if I reload the new OS? I have no issues with getting the "Latest & greatest" versions of Samba & RH Linux, but I need to be 100% sure that I don't have file size limitations in the GB range, I expect to be dealing with files in the 10-40GB range on a daily basis, we are a service bureau so our customers send us this kind of data every day. Can you please provide me an answer or two to these questions?? Thanks you ahead of time. -- Rich Parker http://www.fssi-ca.com mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
