Ok. I may found something. Samba marks the small files as sparse but not
the large ones. Samba is wrong, the small files are not sparse (often they
are stored in their inodes, that's why they occupy 0 bytes -- the disk
space is counted in the $MFT file). Probably its heuristic fails which can
be also due to the sometimes incorrect ->st_block we discussed earlier.
Sparse file handling is transparent for apps but maybe activesync checks
the relevant file attributes and reject anything the coders didn't want to
implement.
Our task could be to make samba believe that the small files are not spare.
Maybe this can be configured somewhere, maybe not. Meanwhile I'll check why
samba guess this attribute wrongly.
