An 18.4 Exabyte realmedia file? Must be one of Jeremy Allison's ACL discussions.
That number is interesting. If you subtract it from 2^64, you get 1,932,534,103. If that number is added to the other reported file size (2,307,064*1024), the result is 343 bytes less than 2^32. The 343 bytes is explained by rounding in the bytes-to-kilobytes conversion being done in W2K.
My guess is, somewhere, the actual 32-bit unsigned file size is being reported as a 32 bit signed number. That negative value is later represented as a 64-bit signed number, and is later represented an unsigned 64-bit number. That series of representation changes would convert the just-over 2GB file size into the just-under MAXINT64 size being shown in Linux.

Subject: Large file size issues with Samba client.
I'm trying to access a Windows 2000 server share that has files > 2GB using the Samba client 2.2.3 that comes with Redhat 7.3. It lists the files as being many times larger than their actual size. I upgraded to the CVS version of Samba today and it still has the problem. Any ideas on how to work around this?
