I found this bug report quite interesting, as I had already discovered that although both my Linux systems and the Win2k file server support large files, I was unable to create a large file on the smbfs mount.
I researched this further, and I discovered that mount.smbfs does indeed have the undocumented 'lfs' option. However, the option is anticipating future improvements to the smbfs kernel module. The mount command queries the module to determine whether or not it has LFS support and ignores the option if it doesn't. I checked the source of the module, and it indeed does not have LFS support. Due to that, the option is rather useless at this point. I suppose it would be a good idea to just enable it (by default) since it is only applied if the kernel has the capability, but I also suppose it doesn't matter as long as the kernel lacks the capability.
