Package: lde
Version: 2.6.0-7.1
Severity: normal
lde aborts if you try to run it on a 250-GB regular file :
# dd bs=1 seek=250G count=1 if=/dev/zero of=bigfile
# lde bigfile
No write access to "bigfile", attempting to open read-only.
Unable to open 'bigfile'
Reproducible on both ext3 and XFS filesystems. What happens is
that open(2) fails with EFBIG :
# strace -o lde.strace lde bigfile
# grep open lde.strace
open("/etc/mtab", O_RDONLY) = 3
open("bigfile", O_RDWR) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
open("bigfile", O_RDONLY) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
write(2, "Unable to open \'bigfile\'\n", 25) = 25
Would lde happen to be compiled without -D _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ?
