Another Reason Why Windows Sucks

NFS is not native to windows.  Instead, for file sharing between a linux/unix system, we are forced to use SMB.  This is OK if you’re not transferring large files, but this can be really problematic if you use smbmount or mount smbfs to create a mount between your Linux box and your Windows box.  Basically you can’t copy/move/or read files that are over 2Gigs in size.  That sucks when you are dealing with large video files…
