does samba have file size limitations as i'm having problems dealing with files larger than 2gb bis there a place to configure this.
Samba, is of course, subject to the file size limitations of the OS under which it runs. If you need larger than 2GB file sized on, say, a Linux box, just install support for the Reiser file system (may require a kernel upgrade). Reiser supports files much larger than 2GB.

I think I need to explain a little better. Its not a matter of creating, storing, dealing, ..... with the file. Its a matter of the file is not displayed during an directory listing, also the file is accessable using a nfs mount. of the mounted samba share. -----Original Message----- From: John Horn [mailto:jhorn1@desperate.ci.tucson.az.us] Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2001 3:15 PM To: Munsterman, Kevin Cc: 'samba@us5.samba.org' Subject: Re: question on file size limits Samba, is of course, subject to the file size limitations of the OS under which it runs.

can you give me some hints of where to start looking as this is smbfs. thanks -----Original Message----- From: Urban Widmark [mailto:urban@teststation.com] Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2001 4:08 AM To: Munsterman, Kevin Cc: 'John Horn'; 'samba@us5.samba.org' Subject: RE: question on file size limits On Tue, 16 Jan 2001, Munsterman, Kevin wrote:> I think I need to explain a little better.

Is this smbfs? smbfs does not support large files. It needs a little bit of help from smbmount to negotiate this with the server, then it needs to support this itself in the internal data structures. Some of this may already be done (where it is using generic kernel routines) but I'm sure a lot of it isn't. /Urban
