My embedded system (linux-1.4.18) currently uses smbfs (stock) and
smbmount (from 3.0.6) to access shares on the network, but I'm running
into problems with >2GB files, only on smbfs. Directory listings show
wrong numbers for files >2GB, and dd craps out before finishing the
file.
I tried using cifs, and it had no problems with 2GB files, but it has
other problems (ie bugs). I have heard that smbfs works fine with
>2GB files, but so far I haven't found any clues as to what I need to
do to enable it.
Any suggestions of where to start troubleshooting?
Thanks,
Dave
