[Samba] 32 bits limit?

[mathias dufresne]

Thank you all for these detailed answers. This size happened on DC where
the import were done. Database with Samba 4 was always significantly bigger
on this host than on the replicated ones. According to that I'll try the
dump trick which would also teach me some things : )
I'll came back after tests...

For LMDB the start seems to be there:

I'll read and try if I can (ie if I'm not too thick :p)

Cheers,

mathias
