Author NFS & > 2GB problems

Having problems creating files that are larger than 2GB
across an NFS connection.

- I can create/copy >2gb files on both systems when 'local'.
- If I do ulimit -a both systems report that fspace is unlimited
- I've updated nfs-utils on both systems to the very latest

But, when I try to copy a large file (>2GB) from my 'client' to the
server machine, I get "file size limit exceeded" when it hits 2GB.
I can copy a large file from the NFS Server to the client machine
with no apparent problem.

Both systems are RedHat 9.0. The NFS Server is set up with a
separate large file system (1 TB in size) using ext2 file system.

I think I'm still getting nfs ver 2 on the server... I'm not sure how
I force Ver 3 (if it will make any difference).

Thanks for any suggestions

Mike
