not sure if this is help or not but you may find this is a limitation of
windows.
when i came across this issue i solved it by breaking down the 2GB file.
it was a tarred/gzipped backup of the /home directory - i wrote a script
which looped through the directories inside the home directory and
zipped up the individual directories.
the nice extra on this is that the user can more easily retreive an
archive version of a file.

Hi,
My company has a Samba [3.0] share on a Debian Linux 3.0 [Kernel 2.6]
machine and we are trying to copy a large file [2GB] from a Windows
machine to the Samba share. When we try to do this, it only copies 2GB
of the information. We were previously having a similar issue when
transfering a large file [2GB] from Linux to a Windows share [mounted
as smbfs], but fixed that with the 'lfs' option in the mount command.
Does anyone know what settings need changed to allow the Samba share to
accept large files from Windows? I've searched the internet for a
couple days now and haven't found a solution. Thanks for your help.
