samba - Jun 2004 - 2GB file limit

I have been having some trouble getting smbclient to write big file (larger
than 2GB) files on an NTFS volume.

I have mounted my volume with the following command:

mount -t smbfs -o username="User" password="asdf"
//192.168.0.2/e$
/servermount/e_drive

I am using Fedora Core 1, and I have found a little chatter while googling
regarding the smbfs implementation in the 2.4 kernel.  What is the status?
Is this a limitation of samba or of the 2.4 kernel?  Does the 2.6 kernel fix
this issue?

Thank you,

Ryan

Ryan,
Depending on the kernal you have, you should be able to use the
following command.

Smbmount //Server/share /mnt/dir -o username=name,workgroup=domain,lf
