Hi Barubary,

Reading through the thread, I've just tried everything you have.
I've used 2.4.18-rc4.  I've first mounted an NTFS partition.  Within
that I've mounted

1a)  Another NTFS partition (from a device)       1Gb   (< 2^31 bytes)
1b)  Another NTFS partition (from a device)       2.2Gb (> 2^31 bytes)
2)   Another NTFS partition (from a loop device)  2.2Gb (> 2^31 bytes)
3)   An ISO image (from a loop device)            20Mb  (< 2^31 bytes)

Please can you clarify what's going wrong.  I can't seem to get the
NTFS driver to go wrong.

If I can repeat the problem, I can probably fix it.

> Now I'm afraid that it's a known bug and I've wasted your time... :(

Don't worry.  If something doesn't work, someone here will want to hear
about it (and fix it).

Cheers,

P.S.  Anton's on holiday (current NTFS maintainer), so you've got me :-)
