That helps, thanks Chris,<br><br>I'm in a situation where changing the kernel is not an option.. So I have come up with another solution using tar and piping it into split to create smaller files.. This solves my problem for now.<br>
<br>If you are curious how I did it, you can read my blog entry about it <a href="http://blog.fratm.com/node/11">http://blog.fratm.com/node/11</a><br><br>Thanks for the replies..<br><br>-Steve<br><br>(Thanks to Scott Doty for confirming the header issue I was having in this solution..)<br>

<font size="+1">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.<br>
<br>
Sorry I'm not more help.<br>

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

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"><font size="+1">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.<br>

<div>I'm trying to move a 6Gig file over to a Samba
share from
my linux box, and the system keeps bombing out at 2.1Gigs.. this
appears to be a limit with samba, but I read that if you add -o lfs to
the command line when mounting the samba stuff, that it will allow
larger than 2.1G files.. But.. I am using automount, and it seems to
ignore that flag..<br>
<br>
Does anyone know a way to make this work? <br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
