[lug] 2.4.20 LFS problem

[John Hernandez]

I'm guessing the Windows NFS Server doesn't support large files.  Have 
you asked the provider of your Windows NFS Server software if support is 
there or Googled for clues?

You might have better luck using the Linux SMB client (mount -t smbfs) 
rather than NFS.
