[Samba] 2.2.12 large file support (> 4 GB)

[Ethan Pinkert]

Hey folks,

 

I've seen questions similar to this asked in the archives, but didn't really
find a suitable answer.

 

I'm trying to send backups to a Windows2000 share, and I'm having trouble
with large files:

 

[root at mail backups]# cp -R 20050208/ /mnt/backup/ 

 File size limit exceeded

 

It only copies 2,147,483,647 bytes, and the file is 5,030,998,091.  I could
split up the archive, but it won't permanently fix the issue.

 

Is there any way I can configure Samba 2.2.12 to handle files larger than
4GB (preferably without a recompile)?

I'm running RH 9.0 and a pre-built RPM from the Fedora Legacy project,
samba-2.2.12-0.90.2.legacy.

 

Thanks,
