[NBLUG/talk] Samba and large files.

[Christopher Wagner]

This is kind of a stupid question, but what's the destination 
filesystem?  I've encountered a similar problem in the distant past, and 
I believe it ended up being the filesystem that was causing the problem, 
not samba.  Otherwise, I've never had issues transferring files larger 
than 2 GB with Samba.
