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

[William Jojo]

Yes, exactly - "to the capacity of the underlying filesystem". 64GB is the
max file size for JFS on AIX. It's going to require JFS2 to go beyond
that. And if you're using JFS2, you really should have the 64-bit kernel
in place as running JFS2 on the 32-bit kernel is not recommended by IBM.
