Thanks for confirmation! Seems as if quota was "not quilty". I now installed quota support and enabled it, and now the "sys_get_vfs_quota() failed" messages are gone from the log - but copying is impossible.
To test ext3, I used a "looped" 10GB file formatted ext3, mounted and exported by samba - and it works! So, ext3 seems to be a better choice than reiser for large file support on samba. But I'm pretty upset on having reiser and samba not working together with large files in 2004, when file sizes of >4GB are supported within windows world since years, with none of the problems I've seen now in linux. Nowadays such "experiments" sould not be required on a "modern OS". Kernel 2.6.x is not an option, as there's no highpoint driver available for it today (no binaries, buggy sources, buggy makefile ... - rely on it!), and lotus domino refuses to run stable (5.0.12, hangs after 2 hours). Running samba is not the only requirement here!! So, I possibly have to change to ext3, if there's no other way - but my decision to reiser was not by random, there were some "pro"s for it. What a sh*t.
