Sander & Andreas, thanks for responding ... you're right, it's the
2.2.20 woody install, I went with the latest "stable" build on
debian.org. Definitely an ext2 limit, as I can't even create a >2GB
locally on the box. I'll reinstall a later kernel, probably 2.4.19 as
Andreas suggested - the hard drive is a 160GB partitioned to less than
<130GB partitions now, but that doesn't mean I won't try to jam a 250GB
drive into it somewhere down the line. ;-)

I also saw a few references to Samba having a 2GB filesize limit unless
it's running with 64 bit support (I'm assuming that means 64 bit support
in the code & filesystem, not that it requires a 64 bit processor!) Do
you happen to know if there's an appropriate Samba package available for
2.4.19 that can handle >2GB files?

Thanks for the help ... I'm new to Linux, but so far it's been a blast.
:-)
