SYMPTOMS
========
When you copy a file from a Windows for Workgroups client to an Windows NT file
system (NTFS) volume, and then run DIR to view the file details in a directory
listing, the wrong file size is reported.
This problem occurs when the file you copy is larger than 130,048 bytes (127
KB).
NOTE: The same problem occurs if you view the file in File Manager. The problem
does not occur if you copy the file using File Manager.
CAUSE
=====
NTFS does not update the directory entry until the file handle is closed.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this problem, force Windows NT to close the file handle. For
example, copy the file to NULL from the NTFS volume closes the file handle a
command line similar to the following:
copy <filename>.<ext> NULL
STATUS
