Hi, since I do a lot multimedia, I encountered an obvious limit in filesize at 2 GB. AFAIK filesystem limit on both sides is 4 GB (ntfs / ext2). At least I have bigger files on any size. what can I do? samba 2.2.1a thanks Hartmut Steffin
I believe there was a discussion on this a while back. You will need to change to a different filesystem on the Linux side, e.g., jfs, ext3, xfs. You will then need to compile samba with large files. As far as I know, ntfs does not have this limitation. NFS version 1.0 may have this limitation but not 2.0. -----Original Message----- From: Hartmut Steffin [mailto:hsteffin@pecos.de] Sent: Tuesday, February 05, 2002 12:04 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] 2 GB Limit Hi, since I do a lot multimedia, I encountered an obvious limit in filesize at 2 GB.

I believe we are talking about files and not file systems. I agree the file system can be larger that 2 gbytes but the files are limited to 2 gbytes at least that is what your documentation use to say. -----Original Message----- From: teg@redhat.com [mailto:teg@redhat.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 7:50 AM To: Loo, Joseph Cc: samba Subject: Re: [Samba] 2 GB Limit "Loo, Joseph" <loo@littongcs.com> writes:> I believe there was a discussion on this a while back.

You will need either a patched 2.2 or a 2.4 kernel and glibc 2.2 (or patched 2.1) for support of this, also your programs must be compiled with certain flags to enable it. Two examples of LFS enabled Linux distributions are Red Hat Linux 6.2 Enterprise and Red Hat Linux 7.2 -- Trond Eivind Glomsr?d Red Hat, Inc.
