[Samba] RE: 4GB limit on samba 3.0.4

[Scruggs, Ronald]

Here's an update if anyone can help me.  The problem only lies between
Samba 3.0.4 and NT 4 SP6.  If I copy a file that is larger than 4GB from
the samba system to the NT system, everything works fine (md5's are
correct on both ends).  If I copy the file from NT4 to Samba, the file
size is correct, but the du command shows only 4096.11 MB being used by
the file regardless of how big it is (5GB, 10GB, etc), and the md5sum is
incorrect.  It ONLY happens between NT4 and Samba; Win2K and Win2K3 are
fine.  Is this an incompatibility issue?
 
Thanks,
 
Ron Scruggs

Subject: 4GB limit on samba 3.0.4


Does anyone know anything about a 4GB size limit on Samba 3.0.4 running
on AIX 5.2 with a 32-bit kernel?  We currently have files being
transferred from a Windows 2000 server to an AIX machine, and if the
files are larger than 4GB, they are getting mangled.  Running samba at a
high debug level shows the file pointer rewinding or becoming negative
once it reaches 4GB and md5sum indicates that the file has changed.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks,
