I believe it has been mentioned earlier, so please pardon me if I'm mistaken,
but it seems that you are using smbfs to connect to your Windows share. In
other words you are mounting the share with something like "mount -t smbfs -o
username=tridge,password=foobar //fjall/test /data/test" (smbmount is
deprecated) either manually, via fstab, or in a script. As has been already
stated this will not work for such large files as smbfs does not currently
support > 2GB.
Try taking a file large than 2GB (even 66GB) and copy it from you linux box to
your Windows share via smbclient; connect with "smbclient //fjall/test -U
tridge%foobar" then use "put" at the "smb:" prompt to copy the file. Are
your results any different (they should be)?
