Even with 2.6 kernel you could have disable the large file support.
With sMB it is possible to enable large file support with lfs option in 
SMB mount fstab line

Anyway in my case i don´t use SAMBA and I have enabled  large file 
support in EXT3.
EXT3 is where no-backup data is stored.
Backup data is stored through NFS in a NAS formatted in EXT3.

thanks
