I have sometimes even found that a SINGLE Windows application can write
files larger than 4 GBs while performing SOME operations, but while
performing OTHER operations, when a file gets to 2GB or 4GB, you get
back a message saying "reached file size limit" or something similar.
And those same operations don't cause any trouble when writing > 4GB
files to a local hard drive.
Is there a setting in smb.conf that can communicate better to Windows
applications that large file sizes are supported?
Likewise, is there a Windows XP registry setting that can make sure that
applications know they can write large files to a Samba share?
Help and insight would be appreciated.

I will also reiterate, I have a case in which the very same application
only has trouble under specific circumstances. I am talking about a
Video Editing application. The application can capture most "formats" of
video to the Samba share and produce single files that are 20, 40, 80
GBs in size. But when capturing in a couple of specific formats, the
capture stops when the file reaches 2 GBs with the message "maximum file
size reached". There is no such limit when capturing to a local drive.
Similarly, when "importing" certain formats of video, we see that the
import stops at 4 GBs with a similar error.
