FULL PRODUCT VERSION :
java version "1.6.0_03"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_03-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.6.0_03-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

ADDITIONAL OS VERSION INFORMATION :
Linux files1 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 #1 Sat Dec 8 22:17:26 CET 2007 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 3200+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linu

EXTRA RELEVANT SYSTEM CONFIGURATION :
Glibc version is 2.6.1, file system is ext3


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
setLastModified() and setReadOnly() and probably other methods fail to work on large files.  The large file (~3.5GB) was sucessfully written with java.io.OutputStream.write(byte[] b, int off, int len) and should be finally modified by setLastModified() and setReadOnly(), which fail.

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
File system with small and large files:
output of ls -l:

-rw-r--r-- 1 ralf users          6  1. Jan 1970  small

Call supplied source code: java change Filename



EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect the code to work on the large file as it works on the small file.

output of  "java change small" is:
Absolute path: /mnt/files1/lib/Filme/2/small
File exists: true
Set modification time: true

ACTUAL -
output of "java change large" is:
Absolute path: /mnt/files1/lib/Filme/2/large
File exists: true
Set modification time: false
