Does anyone remember when linux smbfs (or cifs) gained large file
(>2GB, >4GB) file support?
At least most 2.2.x didn't have it (were there 2.2 smbfs LFS patches?)
Was 2.4 the first kernel to support large files on smbfs?

The Linux CIFS client implementation has always had large file support (cifs.ko was added to the kernel first in 2.5.42), although of course some old server's do not support large (> 2GB) files.
I thought smbfs added it late in the 2.4 series, but don't remember, it might have been in 2.5.
