Package: slocate Version: 2.7-4 Severity: normal
I discovered today that slocate cannot find a file >= 2 GiB mike:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1M count=2048 2048+0 records in 2048+0 records out 2147483648 bytes transferred in 56.693277 seconds (37878983 bytes/sec) mike:~# ls -al bigfile -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2147483648 Nov 11 14:51 bigfile mike:~# updatedb mike:~# locate bigfile mike:~# dd if=/dev/zero of=bigfile bs=1M count=2047 2047+0 records in 2047+0 records out 2146435072 bytes transferred in 49.318821 seconds (43521622 bytes/sec) mike:~# updatedb mike:~# locate bigfile /root/bigfile mike:~# locate -V Secure Locate 2.7 - Released January 24, 2003 Same behaviour for both this sarge 2.4.31 machine, and another sid 2.6.13.4 machine, so I do not think this is a kernel issue. I tried findutil's locate in sid, and it was able to locate bigfile properly. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.31 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages slocate depends on: ii adduser 3.63 Add and remove users and groups ii dpkg 1.10.28 Package maintenance system for Deb ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
