We're trying to back these up to the samba server, but it
quits right around 2gb. That seems to be a magical number. This is with
version 2.2.3 of Samba, and Linux-Mandrake 8.2, ext3 file system.
Well, the Linux ext3 filesystem itself has a maximum file size limit of 2
GB so that isn't really
You sure about that? I'm pretty sure I've had 2gb files on my ext3 drives,
2.4.x kernel.

RedHat Linux 7.0 with all current RedHat bugfixes and glibc
upgrades.
Custom-compiled 2.4.17 kernel with ext2/ext3 ACL patches.
On an ext2
partition:
[root@bigbox /export]# dd if=/dev/zero of=test.temp
For the record, stock RedHat 7.3 kernel (2.4.18-18.7.x) supports files
greater than 2GB.
Rather than debating the point as to whether various things
theoretically support 2GB files or not, it's rather easy to
empirically determine support using dd to create a file greater than
2GB.
Just my $.02
I just tried the example. Under a Mandrake 7.1 box running ext2, the file dies at
2gb. However, under Mandrake 8.2 and 9 with ext3, it DOES work (as in, there is no 2gb
limit).
So that being the case (that it's not the filesystem), why isn't Samba handling 2gb
files?

This has already been fixed in the CVS tree and will be in the next
release (2.2.7a scheduled for later today).
