Does anyone have a thought as to why my elderly Mac SE/30 reports all the
file sizes on an asun-2.1.2 server as large negative numbers? I have
built the server _without_ large volume support AND have not used
optimization to compile volume.c. According to the Mac, the volume size
is < 2Gig. Get Info tells me that there is a huge number "On disk" (??),
with nnn bytes actually used (where 'nnn' is the true size of the file in
question.)
What heuristic does the Finder use to when displaying a listing by Name?
