It seems like Pharo bug

1. FileReference>>gtInspectorItemsIn: composite
...
column: 'Size' evaluated: [:each | each humanReadableSize] width: 100;
...

2. FileReference>>humanReadableSize
^ self size humanReadableSIByteSize

3. MessageNotUnderstood: False>>humanReadableSIByteSize
because "self size" returns false for files > 4GB so it fails and thus I cannot navigate to folders with such files (for example my home directory).

Ok. Could you please open a bug report on that for the inspector?

This is an issue for the linux vm :

"14250 Enable large file support on linux"

on windows, you can list directories with files > 2G

FileSystemStore returns false on #size, if the file can not be found. Thats the reason why the inspector shows the "MessageNotUnderstood: False>>humanReadableSIByteSize" error.
And the files can not be found, because the unix VM uses lstat on the directory entries to retrieve the file attributes. And lstat does not work for files with sizes larger than 32Bit.
