Hey folks, I've seen questions similar to this asked in the archives, but didn't really find a suitable answer. I'm trying to send backups to a Windows2000 share, and I'm having trouble with large files: [root@mail backups]# cp -R 20050208/ /mnt/backup/ File size limit exceeded It only copies 2,147,483,647 bytes, and the file is 5,030,998,091. I could split up the archive, but it won't permanently fix the issue. Is there any way I can configure Samba 2.2.12 to handle files larger than 4GB (preferably without a recompile)? I'm running RH 9.0 and a pre-built RPM from the Fedora Legacy project, samba-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy. Thanks, -Ethan P
Heya Ethan, Did you do any homework before asking the list? 1. smbfs is NOT samba! It is also NOT part of Samba. 2. smbfs has a 2GB file size limit as you found out. 3. Use CIFSFS. 4. This is not the smbfs mailing list.

PS: Your version of Samba is unsupported and out of date, the current version is 3.0.11.> > I'm running RH 9.0 and a pre-built RPM from the Fedora Legacy project, > samba-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy.You are NOT using Samba. If you have mounted a Windows share under Linux you will have used either smbfs or cifsfs. - John T.
