Yes, You didn't give us enough info.

First off, what versions of the Linux Kernel are on the 2 machines?

Second, what version of Samba on each machine?

Any setting in Samba that are designed for DOS Machines for those
shares?

As much pertinent info as possible would be good.

Hi, sorry about that :)  The machine with the share runs redhat 9, linux 
2.4.20 samba 2.2.7a.  The other machine is redhat fedora core 1, linux 
2.4.22 samba 3.0.0.  No special settings on either machine.  I read that 
I can use -o lfs on smbmount, I'm gonna see if that works.

Nope, -o lfs didn't fix it :(

smbmount or mount -t smbfs  do not support large files. I.e.  2Gb files.

I suggest that this is a bug in the linux kernel, and should be fixed there.

Cheers

Top posting isn't polite.

Next questions: Are these machines using older-filesystems like reiserfs
v3.5 (or 3.6 would be good), Early ext2 (ext3 would be good).

How about, are there any 2GB files on either of filesystems?

Are you using quotas on either filesystem, ACLs perhaps?

What version of Libc6 (glibc for you) are you using?

Why aren't you using NFSv3 for this? It is fast and more native to linux
than SMB.  Easier to use than SMB, except for Windows which has native
SMB.

Please don't CC me, as I read the samba list, especially since
murphy.debian.org isn't quite working yet (which runs the mailing lists
for debian).
