[NTLUG:Discuss] 2 gig file limit via samba

[Drag0n]

I recently changed from smbfs to cifs exlusively, i have not seen a file
size issue since on any of my client machines. You may need to download
a copy of mount.cifs from the following site to get it to work, and make
sure that you have cifs compiled into your kernel.
