[Samba] samba and very large files

Hello, Christopher,

Yeah. As it has been discussed several times on this list, smbfs is
limited to 2GB. Please use cifs instead.

Lookup http://us1.samba.org/samba/Linux_CIFS_client.html for details
on how to patch your kernel ...

Also smbfs is NOT part of the Samba suite but part of the linux
kernel.
