Hello to the list, We have installed samba 3.0.12 on a solaris sparc server , mainly acting as a backup-server. Now the problem: Some user want to save whole disk-images on their shares which exceed the 2 GB limit. Now my question: Do i need to compile with option "-m64" , or is the underlaying FS responseable for a successful action Kind regards martin schreiber
Hi, If I don't remember wrongly, both binary and FS layer must have support for filesizes>2GB. HTH, Jos?

Client is a different matter, you have to mount the shares with -o lfs, but I'm not sure. I've only had to do that once, when mounting a share on an Win2k box. Either ways, I copied a 2.5gb ISO image to a samba server using konqueror's smb:// plugin, without any hassles. It does report the filesize incorrectly, though. -- Kind regards Hans du Plooy SagacIT (Pty) Ltd hansdp at sagacit dot com
