How to mount large smb share point

| May 13, 2011

Mount your NAS samba share with lfs (large file system) option. General syntax is as follows:
smbmount //Hostname/Username /local/mountpoint -o username=username,password=password,lfs

For example:
# smbmount //nas1.domain.com/sharename /datanas -o username=LOGINNAME,password=LOGINPASSWORD,lfs

Where,

* //nas1.domain.com/sharename : Server and Share name
* /datanas : Local mount point
* -o username=LOGINNAME,password=LOGINPASSWORD,lfs : Specify login, password and lfs options

Now you should be able to copy large files w/o a problem.
