I do not recall a meaning for negative chunksize. Sure you do not mean a negative value for "use". File too large sounds like > max file size for the file system. Generally a chunksize of 1GB would prevent that. An unspecified chunksize could allow chunks to grow too large. Perhaps the negative chunksize is interpreted as illegal and thus unspecified. -- Jon H.
