I am configuring it from the server side - and accessing it through windows
client, so passing lfs option to smbmount is not possible or i am not aware
of how to :)
Update on the bug: I compiled debian package with --enable-largefile - no
change.
Then created a custom patch which would always call ftruncate64() in
sys_ftruncate() - however client would still throw up error while copying
large files.

Thanks for the reply,

Regards,
Salil
