Re: [Samba] files over 2 GB in size?
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 :( Adam Williams wrote: Hi, sorry about that :) The machine with the share runs redhat 9, linux 2.4.20 samba 2.2.7a.

Is there anyway to create files larger then 2GB on a samba mounted share? If so, how? 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.

And the flow of the discussion. What you are trying to say As it breaks up 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).
