Yes, you might have missed that I mentioned this below. The
applications have no trouble writing big files (> 4 GB) to a local disk.
I will also reiterate, I have a case in which the very same application
only has trouble under specific circumstances. I am talking about a
Video Editing application. The application can capture most "formats" of
video to the Samba share and produce single files that are 20, 40, 80
GBs in size. But when capturing in a couple of specific formats, the
capture stops when the file reaches 2 GBs with the message "maximum file
size reached". There is no such limit when capturing to a local drive.
Similarly, when "importing" certain formats of video, we see that the
import stops at 4 GBs with a similar error.

Subject: [Samba] Writing files > 2GB from Windows
Can anybody explain why SOME Windows XP applications have trouble
writing files larger than 2 GB (or sometimes larger than 4 GB) to
Linux Samba shares, when OTHER Windows applications on the same
machine do not have difficulty writing large files to the same Samba
share? And when the underlying Linux filesystem supports very large
files?
I have sometimes even found that a SINGLE Windows application can
write files larger than 4 GBs while performing SOME operations, but
while performing OTHER operations, when a file gets to 2GB or 4GB,
you get back a message saying "reached file size limit" or something
similar. And those same operations don't cause any trouble when
writing > 4GB files to a local hard drive.
Is there a setting in smb.conf that can communicate better to Windows
applications that large file sizes are supported?
Likewise, is there a Windows XP registry setting that can make sure
that applications know they can write large files to a Samba share?
Help and insight would be appreciated.
