I attempted to create a 4gb sparce file with dd. It failed.
I created one that was 2.1gb in size which worked. Then I appeneded more
junk to the end of the file making it over 2.2gb.
doing an ls -l shows:
ls: x: Value too large for defined data type
NOTE: this worked in 2.4.0-test6 and I believe it stopped working around
test8, but I'm not sure. May have been around test7.
