Just in case, how about setting that to some positive number,
smaller than the available space on the Holding Disk.

I'm wondering if this is some at the edge integer overflow situation.
The number you said amcheck wanted, 4294966272 KB is an exact multiple
of 1024.  Perhaps there is something going on here among maximum value
for integers, or signed vs unsigned values, or long longs or ???
