+ * 
+ * LargeFile is used to simulate a large file system (e.g. exabytes in size).
+ * The getTotalSpace() method is intentionally set to exceed the largest 
+ * value of a primitive long which is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807.  A negative
+ * number will be returned when getTotalSpace() is called.  This class is for
+ * test purposes only.  Using a mocking framework to mock the behavior of 
+ * java.io.File was a lot of work.
