I missed the start of this thread. Is this smbfs?

smbfs does not support large files. It needs a little bit of help from
smbmount to negotiate this with the server, then it needs to support this
itself in the internal data structures. Some of this may already be done
(where it is using generic kernel routines) but I'm sure a lot of it
isn't.
