Bug Description
Making the current 'lfs' flag the default would enable large file support. (there may be reasons not to of course)
Original report: If we want to upload larger file than 2GB (2048 MB) through smbfs (mount -t smbfs) we obtained error message: File size limit exceeded! And operation failed with SIGSEGV error. If i tryed mount -t cifs, Ubuntu said to me that operation is not permitted, although I made it as root (sudo su).

This seems to be a long standing problem with smbfs file system, as I've seen it happening in other releases. The thing is, you can get files with sizes over 2GB without problems using the command line tool smbclient.
