I have two large (16 GB and 18 GB) tar files on an NTFS partition in Windows XP. When I list the files in cygwin, I get the following:
-rw-r--r-- 1 Dmitri Administ 478821376 Dec 18 22:15 unix1.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 Dmitri Administ 18446744072062309376 Dec 18 22:34 unix2.tar Under Windows command prompt (cmd), I get the following (correct) size: 12/18/2001 11:15 PM 17,658,690,560 unix1.tar 12/18/2001 11:34 PM 19,827,594,240 unix2.tar Since cygwin doesn't report the sizes properly to the applications, it breaks programs that could otherwise read the long files (i.e., GNU tar). I am running DLL version: 1.3.10, DLL epoch: 19, downloaded 5/16/2002.
