Re: smbfs/cifs large file support history?

Does anyone remember when linux smbfs (or cifs) gained large file (>2GB, >4GB) file support?

The Linux CIFS client implementation has always had large file support (cifs.ko was added to the kernel first in 2.5.42), although of course some old server's do not support large (> 2GB) files.

I thought smbfs added it late in the 2.4 series, but don't remember, it might have been in 2.5.
