Package: mtools Version: 4.0.31-1 Severity: minor I have a script that uses mtools to create a FAT partition and it has stopped working with recent mtools versions:
+ dd if=/dev/zero of=img.tmp bs=512 count=100031 100031+0 records in 100031+0 records out 51215872 bytes (51 MB, 49 MiB) copied, 0,0473954 s, 1,1 GB/s + mformat -i img.tmp + mcopy -i img.tmp -sb /usr/share/common-licenses :: Internal error, size too big Streamcache allocation problem:: 4 This worked with 4.0.26-1 (currently in testing). It also works without the -b flag. The -b flag is described as an optimization, so a simple workaround for anyone affected is to stop using -b. -- System Information: Debian Release: 11.0 APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386, armhf, armel Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-7-amd64 (SMP w/32 CPU threads) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_DK.UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages mtools depends on: ii libc6 2.31-12 mtools recommends no packages.
