Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with bin/container image load --input large-image.tar, then trace the image-unpacking path for the 128 GiB file-size limit and ext4 image handling. Done means a file larger than 128 GiB can be unpacked when disk space allows, while insufficient disk space still produces an error.

- Run:
bin/container image load --input large-image.tar
