Linux junk, very boring, avert your eyes. Yeah, I thought about making a techie blog for non computer peeps, but I'm too lazy to even keep up with this one, so there you are.

Odd configuration limitation. Seems smbfs has a 2GB file size limit. When smbmount is used it calls smbfs. Yes, I should implement NFS, but I have a few perfectly good samba shares and I want to use them.

Solution, rather than doing

smbmount //hollow1/data2 /mnt/data2

which is basically identical to

mount -t cifs //hollow1/data2 /mnt/data2

do

mount -t cifs //192.168.0.220/data2 /mnt/data2

Side note, that samba name may not be known to this linux box, use

nmblookup hollow1

to get the IP Address

If you read this far, note hollow1 is a headless server. Yes, there's a joke in there somewhere. No, geek humor is does not have a wider audience waiting for it.
