[NBLUG/talk] Samba and large files.

[Christopher Wagner]

I remember struggling with this particular limitation, now that you 
mention it, but don't recall how I solved it.  It was on a Redhat 7.2 
box, and I don't remember having to compile anything, but that was an 
awful long time ago..  I did end up mounting with CIFS but don't 
remember precisely how.  Some Googling suggests that a RHEL3 kernel 
upgrade to support CIFS is in order.

Sorry I'm not more help.
