Hi all, We have a Debian Linux 3.0, running kernel 2.4.18, and all filesystems are formatted as ext3. My problem is: when I try to mount an w2k share in this machine using smbmount, I can't see big files correctly. I suspect that the problem happens with files bigger then 2GB. I have a file in the w2k machine that's 4GB size, and when I mount the share in the linux machine, I see that file with just about 360MB! First I tried with smbfs 2.2.3 that comes with the distro. After a I tried with version 2.2.8 that's avaiable at samba site as a debian package. Finally I tried with 'unstable' version "2.999+3.0" that debian provides. Had the same results with all of them. Any help? Thanks in advance.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. It has nothing to do with what filesystem you're using on your Linux system; it's a limitation of the smbfs driver. Sharing large files *from* Linux is supported by Samba, though.
