probably not a limitation w/ samba.
questions:
1) are you backing up into 1 file ? if yes, then when that file reaches ~2gb,
it is full. See other responses for more detail.
2) are you backing up lots of small files ? if yes, you might have reached
your inode limit. do:
df -i
and look at the Ifree for the destination partition. if it is zero, you have
used up all your inodes. (man mkfs for add'l info) If this is what you are
seeing, you'll need to remake your backup partition w/ more inodes).
