Package: dcraw Version: 8.80-1 Severity: normal It appears that dcraw is ignoring errors--such as ENOSPC (No space left on device)--that occur when writing a file.
Here is a successful run on a partition with plenty of space. Note that dcraw returns 0, as it should. (In bash, the command echo $? shows the return value of the most recent command.) Note that the output file is about 19MB. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dcraw -c CRW_6903.CRW > CRW_6903.ppm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $? 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l CRW_6903.ppm -rw-r--r-- 1 jdietrch jdietrch 19046801 2008-04-30 08:27 CRW_6903.ppm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Now my /tmp is on a 16MB partition: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hdv1 19534372 3479536 16054836 18% / none 16384 0 16384 0% /tmp [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ So I would expect an error if I tell dcraw to output that 19MB file to /tmp. But that's not what happens: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dcraw -c CRW_6903.CRW > /tmp/CRW_6903.ppm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ echo $? 0 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /tmp/CRW_6903.ppm -rw-r--r-- 1 jdietrch jdietrch 16756736 2008-04-30 08:33 /tmp/CRW_6903.ppm [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ Notice that dcraw still returns 0, indicating success, but the output file is (obviously) not complete. If I run the same command under strace, there are many lines like this at the end of the output: write(1, "\254qF\254pF\255pD\252qB\251pA\250pA\250oA\247oB\247nA"..., 4096) = -1 ENOSPC (No space left on device) Expected behaviour: dcraw should not silently discard such errors. They should be reported, and then dcraw should return a non-zero value. Let me know if I can provide any further information.
