From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 98; DigExt) Description of problem: Tried both smbclient interactive and mounting samba share with samba that came with RH 7.1. Transfer with smbclient ran out of space after filling 88G on my drive volume. Mount showed 50G file as 131M in ls and when I used cp to move it to a local drive I only got 131M. What I got was fine, it was just truncated. This is an oracle database export and the import routine recognized the 131M file as a valid export file and ran through it until it hit an unexpected end of file. RedHat software support suggested downloading and installing Samba RPM's from the 7.2 folder on the download site (more recent version of Samba). I did this and am now running version 2.2.1a-4. I remounted the NT4 share and the files still show an incorrect size. When using a windows client to attach to this same share the files show up as 50.4GB (54,164,785,152 bytes) and 48.4GB (52,009,824,256 bytes). When using the samba mount these files show up as (18,446,744,072,039,761,920 bytes) and (470,216,704 bytes). I used the ftp client on the NT box to connect to the WU- FTP server on the RH 7.1 box and transfer the smaller (48.4GB) file over. This worked fine and ls on the local file system shows this file as (52,009,824,256 bytes) which is the same size that NT4 showed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.mount NT4 share to /mnt/mhic3f 2.ls -l /mnt/mhic3f/TRANSFERS 3.

Also a problem when using samba as the server, no NT needed.
Still a problem with samba 2.2.3a, and a file of 16 GB.
(also, windows shows the file size correctly as a client)
smbfs is part of the kernel, samba seems to do it's thing correctly. Reassigning.
This is observable with any version of Windows that supports file sizes > 2GB. Problem still exists on 7.3 w/ errata kernel (2.4.18-4)
We dont plan to fix this for 2.4 series kernels. It will be addressed in the 2.6 based systems. Fixing it for 2.4 systems involves breaking a lot of compatibility with some tools and is very risky
