All, I was a little surprised to see the following when I did an "ls -l".
total 2368673 -rw-rw-rw- 1 Harold.A mkgroup 4071856 Jun 5 10:48 2001-fall.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 Harold.A mkgroup 12910850 Jun 5 10:53 2002-fall.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 Harold.A mkgroup 12568393 Jun 5 10:59 2002-spring.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 Harold.A mkgroup 736583 Jun 5 10:56 2002-summer.tar.bz2 -rw-rw-rw- 1 Harold.A mkgroup 18446744071809814777 Jun 5 11:26 2003-spring.tar.bz2 I've got a large hard disk, but not that large. The actual file size of the last file is 2,395,230,457 bytes, as listed in Windows Explorer. The file resides on a SEAGATE ST336732LW SCSI (40GB) HDD connected to an LSI Logic 1030 Ultra320 SCSI Adapter. These are in turn installed in a Dell Precision 530 Workstation. I am using Cygwin on Windows XP and using NTFS as the file system. ls --version reveals: ls (fileutils) 4.1 Written by Richard Stallman and David MacKenzie.
