Topic Title: Does Samba Networking have a file size limit?

First Post:

I have a couple samba shares set up on my Gentoo box. I tried moving some large mpeg captures I made on one of my Windows boxes onto the Gentoo box.The drives I have the samba shares set to save to are FAT32 since I dual boot the Gentoo system and want to be able to access them from Windows and Linux.Anyway.. I was moving one mpeg over and the transfer stopped near the end. The Windows box said "Cannot Copy: Invalid File Handle). Tried it another time. Same thing. It seemed to stop in the same spot both times. So I tried another mpeg file and it copied fine. So I tried a third one and it failed. I looked at the original files on the Windows box and noticed the two that failed were about 2.2GB each. The one that copied was 1.9GB. So I did some google searching and noticed people talking about a 2GB limitiation with older Samba versions and older kernels. Also a 2GB limitation on ext2 partitions. Everybody seemed to indicate this should not be an issue on any recent distros (and the messages were about a year old).I know FAT32 supposedly has a 4GB file limitation. Plus I know it isnt the problem since I can boot Windows on that machine and copy the files to that drive no problem.The errors I see in the samba log are as follows.[2002/07/02 16:48:03, 3] smbd/process.c:switch_message(684) switch message SMBwriteX (pid 5292)[2002/07/02 16:48:03, 0] smbd/fileio.c:seek_file(43) seek_file: (videos/S20020621_095758.mpg) sys_lseek failed.
