 Hello,
 
 	first of all thanks for the report to help make FreeBSD better!
 
 	One thing that crosses my mind is that (in my believing) the maximum
 	size of a file under msdos(fs) was 2gb, which could explain this
 	"problem" you are seeing. If that is still accurate, I don't think
 	we should patch the file you mention, but refuse to accept files
 	larger then 2gb since they will then not be visible at all on the
 	disk when msdos itself is being used (or some other OS that reads
 	out the msdosfs).
 
 	I copied in Tom Rhodes for more clarification (he maintains msdosfs).
 
 	Again thanks for the report and taking the time to mention this!
 
 	Cheers,
 	remko
