That goes double for this particular comment, since it fixes a problem that was really bugging me: as we speak I have a file of > 2.2 GB, and growing by the minute as my backup completes its run. And yes, you are right...I would expect that large filesystem support would be enabled by default. Arrrgh. James…thank you for your comment!

I found a setting to "Use large filesystem support" (I didn't need to remount either, you might if using CLI mount). Now I'm comfortably rolling past the 3.3GB mark with my backup. If you are using samba manually you must use the "lfs" option, for example: /usr/bin/smbmount //xxx/D$ /home/jlynch/smb4k/xxx/D$ -o workgroup WORKGROUP ip 192.168.0.xxx netbiosname GENTOO lfs fmask 0755 dmask 0755 port 139 rw username administrator Cool site BTW! Another gremlin bites the dust, in our modern day shouldn't LFS be enabled by default? I always assumed the capability of the shares were automatically negotiated, go figure. Feel free to email me any additions or comments. Hi Kelly,

I’ve got some possibly cool news, after browsing the samba manual and some sources I decided to thoroughly roam SMB4K’s settings. I found a setting to “Use large filesystem support” (I didn’t need to remount either, you might if using CLI mount). Now I’m comfortably rolling past the 3.3GB mark with my backup. If you are using samba manually you must use the “lfs” option, for example:

/usr/bin/smbmount //xxx/D$ /home/jlynch/smb4k/xxx/D$ -o workgroup WORKGROUP ip 192.168.0.xxx netbiosname GENTOO lfs fmask 0755 dmask 0755 port 139 rw username administrator

Cool site BTW! Another gremlin bites the dust, in our modern day shouldn’t LFS be enabled by default? I always assumed the capability of the shares were automatically negotiated, go figure. Feel free to email me any additions or comments.
