I just ran a quick test, and was not able to reproduce this issue with
the mount_smbfs from FreeBSD 7.0. I tried against a Windows 2003
Server SP2, Windows XP SP3, and Samba 3.0 {on FreeBSD 7} with a 3.5GB
file.
Was your issue with reading from or writing to a SMB share ?
What is the server software and OS version ?
(if Microsoft Windows, please include Service Pack number as well, as
it might make a difference)
How much disk space is left on your server volume ?
Are there disk quotas enabled on the server ?
What error message are you getting from your FreeBSD client (if any) ?
Can you check the smb server logs and see if you are getting any error
messages there ?
You may want to get a Wireshark trace and see if you can capture the
SMB error message/error code.
I have heard of people running into similar problems when running
against older server software (NT 4.0/old samba) when the SMB session
did not negotiate large file/large write support (a function of the
SMB server capabilities session negotiation)

smbmount is not included in the FreeBSD port of samba, as it is Linux
kernel specific. mount_smbfs(8) is the correct userland app.
You could always try the samba smbclient(1) to access SMB shares using
an FTP-like environment.

Sorry I do not have a good solution for you. Perhaps someone else
will give you better advice.
Good Luck!
