What failure? What symptoms?

What do you regard as a large file?

Anything less than 2^31-1 bytes is small to most computers, although you may want to 
allow leeway for overheads depending how you handle it. Most Linux boxes and 
commands now relaxed about larger files.

Regards Rsync a quick google shows someone having performance problems with files in 
the 100GB range. Does this count as large for you?
I cant remember off the top of my head but its specifically an SMB/CIF problem that is a known error but Ubuntu don’t seem to be fixing it. It just locks up mid transfer - if you copy a single file it seems to be fine but will stop in the middle of a directory tree. I was hoping someone may be familiar with it and know of a workaround.
