Re: Below I am using samba samba-3.0.0beta2-1.i386.rpm I had previously been on the latest redhat version of samba ... I need large file support... Do you know of a patch for the newer sambas or do I have to go backwards? (see reference below) I have a samba-2.2.5-1.i386.rpm but then I have to patch the kernel... redhat have some many kernel patches that this would seem to pose a constant maintenance issue. Is there a smart way around this? Thank you in advance for any help... Mark Hanna

Is there a smart way around this?AFAIK It's strictly a kernel issue not a samba issue. The kernel can not handle files larger than 2G. At least not the "normal" one. Sometimes split might help or, if you're using GNU tar, have a look at -M and the script that gets called for this...
