Thanks. But it doesn't appear so.

The box I'm writing to is Ubuntu with 2.6.8 and XFS under the hood. I 
made a backup to it via Samba just yesterday with a file size > 4GB.

I tried the "Linux26" boot option in Knoppix with the same results.

At the moment I'm trying again with a SimplyMEPIS disk. I'll know in a 
few minutes.

Thank you,
Michael
