[Samba] Version 2.2.6 and above are not able to store big fil es over 2GB
I'm hitting the 2G limit taring from 2.2.2 to ntfs NT4. could this be my problem as well. -----Original Message----- From: samba-admin@lists.samba.org [mailto:samba-admin@lists.samba.org]On Behalf Of Klaus Ethgen Sent: 29 November 2002 4:10 PM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: [Samba] Version 2.2.6 and above are not able to store big files over 2GB Hello, when I store a file biger than 2GB to a samba server version 2.2.5 everythink works fine. But when I do that with a server version 2.2.6 or 2.2.7 the saving fails on the 2GB limit. The problem can be seen with windowsclients or with smbclient (any version > 2.2.5). I did some debuging and find that the lseek64 fails. But I didn't find the reason.

Here are my tests using a LM8.1 ( samba 2.2.2 ext2 ) and LM9 ( samba 2.2.7 ext3) Using Tar to copy 8Gig comprising 5 folders and umpteen files. From to File system Max file size allowed Max file size system LM8.1 LM9 ext3 2Gig 4Gig LM8.1 Win2000 ntfs 2Gig 4Gig LM8.1 Win98 fat32 2Gig 4Gig Also tried using cp, as above, with a 4Gig file and it still bombed out at 2Gig. So it looks like if you want to copy a file out of or into a samba server that's bigger than 2G. forget it. It doesn't even respect the target operating systems max file size. Any answers from the Samba Team ?

Are you comforatable patching source code and re-building Samba ?

I don't use debian so this would be better asked on the list to see who maintains the "official" debian samba package. Patrik Mayer wrote:> > Hi, > > I?m a friend of Thomas Schmidt.
