so does this mean that the access methods (cifs, ftp etc) are able to support file sizes over 4gb or is this a limitation of the nas lite OS?
First of all, SMB and CIFS are the same. It's just a difference between MS terminology and the rest of the world. As far as ftp and nfs are concerned, I haven't had much luck with file sizes over 4GB there either but I must admit that I haven't looked into it too much.

But now I am curious... after trawling through the forums (Tony and sanmaster having deep discussions about why nas lite and the entire internet cannot fit in a 720k 5 ¼” floppy, Thanks guys) I now see that there is talk of a new version potentially on the way, I don’t really want to join the crowd of “are we there yet” (I get enough of that from my kids) but….. “ARE WE THERE YET??” or in the immortal words of the smurfs “How much further Papa Smurf??”
That's what I'm waiting for. I've asked the question several times but never got a date. Tony and I even had a philisophical discussion about the fact that NASLite was originally developed for older hardware. I agree that this seems to be the case but then the USB version of NASLite flies in the face of that philosophy. How many older 486 machines do you know of that can boot from a USB device? My position was simply this, if you're going to make a product that does that why not add to it to fix known problems and offer new functionality? Could have called that product release 2.x and been done with it.
