[Samba] 2TB Limit for Windows Shares?

[Michael Gasch]

hi,

i´m sorry, but i cannot ack to this report.
we have for example one server with 3,12TB (each share shows this space, 
no quotas set)and win xp (pro) clients are fine with this (btw: MAC OSX 
had problems with shares >2TB -> smb.conf has a parameter for virtually 
limiting the disk size)
