[NTLUG:Discuss] 2 gig file limit via samba

[MontyS@videopost.com]

I do a similar thing by putting the mount command in the /etc/rc.local file.

YMMV

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] 2 gig file limit via samba


hello all
a special thanks to Chris cox for all the valuable info on smbfs. I was 
having trouble transferring a 2.1 gig file mounting a windows share 
using smbfs. I have researched the problem and samba was written way 
before ntfs file system and the 2 gig file transfer limit is there for 
fat32 support That is the way I read it

having said that here is the command I use and have copied a 2.3 gig 
file from Linux to windows


mount -t smbfs -o lfs //windows/share /home/user/directory -o 
username=user,password=password,uid=user


If I put the above line into the fstab Suse will not mount it 
automatically. I get an error so if any body cares to help with that 
then I would appreciate it.
