    I seem to have difficulties mounting shared folder with a total size >2GB in Gentoo.

    Whenever I try to mount using SMBFS it mounts, but then says "Permission denied", using CIFS it says "Error 20: directory does not exist"

    If I mount a folder shared on the Vista machine < 2GB it works fine.

    this reccomend to use lfs as an -o value, but it causes the same problem.

    Any ideas?

    2.6.20-r7 gentoo kernel, connecting wirelessly to a Vista Business machine.

    mount -t smbfs -o username=***,password=*** //vista/share /mnt/share

    Have you tried that?

    Tried mounting as root? Correct password? Correct permissions on the share? On the mount dir?

    yerp, all checked. If I mount anything which is lower then 2GB it's fine.

    there may be a problem with SAMBA/CIFS. I can see the laptop from Windows but when I goto a share it says "Windows Cannot Access ..." "The network path was not found"

    And with the laptop if I type the PC name it can't find it, but it can find the IP

    That's a different problem (DNS). If you add the IP of your Vista pc in /etc/hosts then it will work ;)

    DNS problem is solved and so is the share

    Vista decided to remove global access for all my shares when I added a new Hard Drive.
