I am totally confused by this request. Please make another attempt to help us 
to understand the problem.

Are you using smbfs or samba? 

The smbfs facility is NOT part of samba, it is a Linux kernel driver. Asking 
the Samba Team to solve an smbfs problem is like asking a Ford dealer to do 
GM warranty work. 

In case my response is not clear, if you are having a problem copying a file 
that is larger than 2GB over smbfs you should take the problem to the team 
that maintains smbfs, not to the Sama Team.

Oh, by the way, smbfs is no longer being actively maintained, you really 
should look into using cifsfs, which is also not part of Samba.

Samba does include the front-end client tools for using smbfs and cifsfs, but 
only because they make use of Samba libraries. The problem you appear to be 
asking about is most likely tied to the Linux kernel module that is not part 
of Samba.
