Description
Maintainer: @dangowrt
Environment: ARMV7, IPQ806x, 23.05.2
Description:
transmission-create is unable to see the correct file size for most large files (beyond 2GiB or so in size).
This issue was first reported to the upstream transmission team and after testing they found the issue to likely be from stat() / lstat() calls returning the wrong file size in openwrt. Please see https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/6289 for full details and steps to reproduce

Research direction
Start with the upstream Transmission issue 6289 and its reproduction steps, using transmission-create on the reported ARMV7/IPQ806x OpenWrt environment. Investigate the stat() and lstat() results for files larger than 2 GiB; done means transmission-create reports the correct file size.
