Hi,
I have an amd64 machine which has a FAT32 partition shared by Windows,
Linux, and NetBSD.
On the FAT32 partition there is a file with size ~4GB.
"ls -l" on NetBSD reports wrong file size:
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 18446744073455962112 Nov 12 22:18 back-cd.iso
On Linux (and Windows):
-rw-r--r-- 1 chris chris 4041377792 Nov 12 22:18 back-cd.iso
4041377792 is 0xF0E28800, 18446744073455962112 is 0xFFFFFFFFF0E28800.
Looks like the file size is declared as signed on NetBSD and gets
sign-extended to 64bit.
This is on -current as of today.
regards,
chris
