  • 1.  Impact Of SAMBA upgrade

    Posted Tue April 20, 2021 05:01 AM
    Hi All,

    Currently we have SAMBA in our CIFS shares as follows:

    bos.cifs_fs.rte 7.1.5.32 APPLIED Runtime for SMBFS
    bos.cifs_fs.smit 7.1.0.0 COMMITTED SMIT Interface for SMBFS
    bos.cifs_fs.rte 7.1.5.32 APPLIED Runtime for SMBFS
    bos.cifs_fs.smit 7.1.0.0 COMMITTED SMIT Interface for SMBFS

    We are having issues with fale transfers due to file sizes.
    If I upgrade them to latest SMB version, will i be able to transfer file with high data volume ?
    What are the other impacts /benefits I can assume .

    This is not Samba server but SMB client for AIX. 
    It is not open source software. 
    I don't have information if the newer SMB client support bigger file size. 
    You can read more about newer SMB client

    SMB client for AIX supports bigger file size more than 4GB of file size.

    Thanks
