>Description:
Burning a 3GB+ file on a DVD-R (succesfuly) and then mounting the dvd (even after eject/insert) and ls -l results in:

ls: file: Value too large to be stored in data type

This is not ls specific. Visual "file viewers" such as mc even freeze (100% cpu) and gnome nautilus displays filesize 0.

In windows the file is displayed ok with 3GB file size. I didn't try linux.

I think personaly that this is a specific ISO9660 code bug in freeBSD somewhere, because if the file is on disk/ufs2, ls works ok. Probably some lazy forgotten int32.
>How-To-Repeat:
Burn a DVD-R (probably +R ok too) with 3GB+ one file. ls -l afterwards in the newly burned and mounted dvd.
