[Samba] LARGE FILE PROBLEMS

[Rashkae]

The smbfs File System is part of the Linux Kernel, and not Samba.  It
likely has trouble with Large files.  There are patches and what not
to get around this but they are not supported by Samba.  Try using the
samba tools (smbclient or smbtar) and see if that works.
