Package: vim Version: 1:7.1-175+2 Severity: normal I have a large xml file (12,7 GiB) which I wanted to open in vim to check some things before sending it to a parser we use. vim says 'file.xml' [New File] and shows an empty buffer. When I now (accidently) executed ":wq", vim overwrote the large xml file.
Well, actually the second part is kinda expected (though unfortunate) but it would be nicer if vim saw large files in some more obvious way, e.g. giving a warning message or something if it doesn't want to open the file. For the case this is a fs issue, I run ext3 here. regards -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages vim depends on: ii libc6 2.7-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgpmg1 1.19.6-25 General Purpose Mouse - shared lib ii libncurses5 5.6+20071215-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii vim-common 1:7.1-175+2 Vi IMproved - Common files ii vim-runtime 1:7.1-175+2 Vi IMproved - Runtime files vim recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
