Max Allowable Filesize

I have noticed a 2GB limit on Samba (when trying to image a drive over samba to
a linux box running the 2.4 kernel). Or at least that is what I attribute the
problem to. Although you may also have linux file limit issues with RH 6.2.
6.2 probably uses the 2.2 kernel which may also have a 2GB file size limit.
That is unless you have a different kernel.
