[ILUG] Large files on Samba

[Padraig Brady]

Following might be of use:
http://www.hojdpunkten.ac.se/054/samba/index.html

Other options could be to compress and/or split
the database into smaller files? An interesting
proggy for this is: http://freshmeat.net/projects/granulate/
The advantage over split is that you don't need
the origonal file size of free disk space.
