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

[Ethan]

Thanks for the help,

I was totally unaware that smbfs and Samba were not related.  If this is a
recurring, annoying question, perhaps a FAQ entry would steer folks like me
in the right direction (I did read that).  I will check out cifsfs.

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PS: Your version of Samba is unsupported and out of date, the current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