Issue

After migrating many old files to an ONTAP SnapLock share, some files show an unexpectedly long retention time.
Example:

cluster1::> file retention show -vserver svm1_cluster1 -file /vol/SLE/test3Atime2002.txt
                         Vserver : svm1_cluster1
                            Path : /vol/SLE/test3Atime2002.txt
Retention Time (Secs from Epoch) : 1009843200
        Formatted Retention Time : Sun Jan 19 03:14:08 GMT 2070
    Is Retention Time Wraparound : true
