However when I switch to 64bit OS version, the error does *not* occur, not even in 4.13.13. The TimeMachine client successfully mounts the share and completes multiple backups, and the server smbd logs are clean, with no overflow warnings, and definitely no "Invalid or incomplete multibyte or wide character" errors.


Do you have ability to compile samba?  If yes (maybe with a debian package),
can you please try the attached patch?  It removes the useless and actually
wrong check for the off_t overflowing size_t.

Or alternatively I can provide pre-built binaries.

Thanks,
