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

[John H Terpstra]

Heya Ethan,

Did you do any homework before asking the list?

1. smbfs is NOT samba! It is also NOT part of Samba.

2. smbfs has a 2GB file size limit as you found out.

3. Use CIFSFS.

4. This is not the smbfs mailing list.

Samba does NOT have a 2GB file size limit - smbfs is NOT samba.

PS: Your version of Samba is unsupported and out of date, the current version 
is 3.0.11.

You are NOT using Samba. If you have mounted a Windows share under Linux you 
will have used either smbfs or cifsfs.
