samba - Aug 2004 - could not copy a file bigger than 1GB

Hi,

 

   I have installed Samba 2.2.8 on AIX 5.2 server.  I tried to copy a
file (around 106 GB) from win2k server to this AIX box.  The "copy"
process was stop when the file was copied up to 1GB.  Do you know what
was wrong?  Is there anything I need to set on AIX server site in order
to transfer large file?

What filesystem are you using?

The default file size limit on AIX is 1G out of the box.  Just increase 
fsize expressed in 512k blocks for a user or by "default" to change
the
default behavior to a maximum of 2Gig.  After that you have to specify 
"fsize = -1" which means unlimited.  Then you can write to the
capacity
of the underlying file system.

/etc/security/limits
default:
        fsize = 2097151

I have set the ulimit for default user to the following:

default:
        fsize = -1
        core = 2097151
        cpu = -1
        data = -1
        rss = 65536
        stack = 65536
        nofiles = 2000


But it still encountered the same issue.  Is there anything I need to
set on samba's configuration file or AIX kernel?
