See if you can isolate the smallest possible reproducable test case. If you
create a 3GB file with known content (e.g. the same byte repeated), does the
same issue occur? If so, how small do you need to go before the problem goes
away? Also, what operating system (and version) was used to write the files
to the NTFS volume?
