[NBLUG/talk] Samba and large files.

[Steve Johnson]

Steve, Chris

NTFS From what I have been told by the other sysadmin.. This on on a Win2k3
Server box..

I've been digging around google for this, and it looks like I may need to
mount the file system as CIFS, so I am going to see what is invovled in
getting that file system support in my RHEL3 system.. It does not look like
RedHat has support for this.. so I may need to compile the modules my self..
