Hi. Is there such a limit to 2GB in samba 2.2.8a-1? I get a "File imit exceeded" when I try to tar or cp smth to a smbmount. On both machines I can successfully do dd if=/dev/zero and create a file of 3GB, I can also tar -cvf it but no cp to smb. RH8 if it matters...

RH8 if it matters...smbmount and samba are different animals. when you smbmount, you use the smbfs kernel module, which has a 2gb file size limit. You can find patches to break the barrier at http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html only apply patches 01 and 02, as 00 is included in stock 2.4.21 I don't use these as they give me too many errors, but they might work for you.

Patch process gives you errors or you get errors during transfer of big files?

RH8 if it matters...This is a limit in your smbfs which is not part of samba but part of your Linux kernel code. The new cifsfs that Steve French is working on should fix that problem. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
