Is there a known limitation with large (> 2GB) files across samba CIFS
connections to an AIX samba server?
My environment:
Server:
AIX 5.1
Samba 2.2.7 (from IBM's AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications)
JFS
Client:
Windows 2000 (SP4)
Symptoms:
Both the AIX and Windows file systems support large files (tested to a
size of 12GB). An ftp of a 6.3GB file between both machines works [once
ulimit is adjusted is to relieve the default 2GB soft limit on file
size.] However when a file copy is attempted using an AIX share mounted
on a Windows 2000 client, the copy fails at the 2GB mark.
Regards.
jon.
