What does 'strace df /home/olchansk' say? It's not clear to me where this error originates. Created attachment 99571 [details]
strace df /home/olchansk
The error is coming from "statfs("/home/olchansk", 0xfeeb4fd4) = -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large for defined data type)". The full strace is attached. K.O. Not sure that df can really rely on any of the values then. Looks to me like reporting an error is all it can do. I wonder why statfs() returns that in the first place. So if the problem is in "statfs", reassign the bug to the statfs bozos, but please don't just close the bug and hope the problem or I will go away. K.O. there's not really anything that can be done to fix this that I can see. your glibc is compiled against 2.4 kernel headers. That struct changed in 2.6, so unsurprisingly, glibc gets confused and returns nonsense, which the app then tries to translate. the only answer I see is to use a glibc compiled against 2.6 headers. remember also, that FC1 never shipped with a 2.6 kernel, and as such lots of userspace isn't prepared for it. It's completely unsurprisingly that some things break. |
