[Samba] could not copy a file bigger than 1GB

[Doug VanLeuven]

The default file size limit on AIX is 1G out of the box.  Just increase 
fsize expressed in 512k blocks for a user or by "default" to change the 
default behavior to a maximum of 2Gig.  After that you have to specify 
"fsize = -1" which means unlimited.  Then you can write to the capacity 
of the underlying file system.

Regards, Doug

/etc/security/limits
default:
        fsize = 2097151
