I'm not reallys sure this is a networking/nfs issue, but I've tried to address all the 'normal' linux things, and still no good, so will post this under networking/nfs....

Having problems creating files that are larger than 2GB
across an NFS connection.

- I can create/copy >2gb files on both systems when 'local'.
- If I do ulimit -a both systems report that fspace is unlimited
- I've updated nfs-utils on both systems to the very latest
- I've set a default fsize of unlimited in /etc/security/limits.conf

But, when I try to copy a large file (>2GB) from my 'client' to the
server machine, I get "file size limit exceeded" when it hits 2GB.
I can copy a large file from the NFS Server to the client machine
with no apparent problem. (This tends to make me think it's a
local file size limit, rather than a nfs version problem.)

Both systems are RedHat 9.0. The server is a 2.6.9 kernel and the
client is 2.4.20 and both appear to be enabled for NFS V3 (although
the server is a 'packaged' system and I haven't been able to track
through the full build structure...) The NFS Server is set up with a
separate large file system (1 TB in size) using ext2 file system.

I think I'm still getting nfs ver 2 on the server...("rcpinfo -p"
reports vers 2) I'm not sure how I can force Ver 3 (if it
will make any difference).

Thanks for any suggestions
