You're totally right, and I should have done so in the first place. Using unsigned might cause trouble when you expect it the least, and there's also no reason to limit the offset to 2 TiB. Related, I was asked in private whether to add another option to limit the length of the export. While personally I have no use for that[1], other people might see the need. The patch should be really simple.
