Hi all, I am running samba 3.0.14 on ubuntu breezy badger networked with another ubuntu machine and my XP laptop. File sharing is great except when a file exceeds 1.5 - 2 GB. The file transfer fails after 1.5 - 2 GB with a file to large error. This seems to be a limit for linux - windows and linux - linux which is a pain when trying to move large DVD iso's. Does anyone know a workaround ? or come to that why is there such a low limit ? Cheers Dave
are you running kernel 2.4 or 2.6?
