FileZerver release V04.14.00a is now available for download for
firmware update of Cyclone 2+ boards using the admin "Firmware
Update" web page, ZerverView, or FTP, in file fzi0414a.bin.


Change for V04.14.00a --

A problem was found within V04.14.00 -- with Windows/CIFS/SMB
access, files larger than 2GB would have an error reported for
open for read, open to overwrite, and for delete.  Files less
than 2GB would have no problem.  The only change in V04.14.00a
is the fix to this problem.

The difficulty did not relate to the newer/better samba code,
which does appear to be better as well as newer.  The problem
was in details of the FileZerver run-time environment.

Changes for V04.14.00 --

To handle Windows/CIFS/SMB protocol, a newer version of
the samba program, release samba-3.0.11, has been used.
Recent FileZerver releases have been using samba-3.0.4.
Each samba release in that interval includes improvements in
performance and function, as well as repairs, which should be
mostly invisible to FileZerver users.

This upgrade was done to include a particular improvement,
which should allow the program "Microsoft Windows Backup"
(sometimes called "NT Backup") to run better.

Another visible change relates to the number of concurrent
server SmartMirror operations that would be allowed.  The limit
had been 4, and is now 8.  The number of client SmartMirror
operations allowed on a FileZerver at one time is still one.
