Description of problem: mke2fs on Rawhide (but not Fedora 20) has started to fail on i686 with: /usr/sbin/mke2fs -t ext2 -Fq '/tmp/tmp.8XawRF2EgH/d2.0ryxonke/root Could not open /tmp/tmp.8XawRF2EgH/d2.0ryxonke/root: Value too large for defined data type The size of the file is 4GB exactly. This FAQ suggests that this error is because the utility has been compiled incorrectly: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/faq/coreutils-faq.html#Value-too-large-for-defined-data-type Note that this does not fail on x86-64, nor on Fedora 20, nor on earlier versions of Rawhide. The failure has started in the last few days. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): e2fsprogs-1.42.10-1.fc21.i686 How reproducible: Unknown. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create 4GB file. 2. mke2fs -t ext2 -Fq file Additional info: The full log is here: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/614/6870614/build.log
Cripes, did e2fsprogs lose -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 / O_LARGEFILE stuff? Bleah, I'll look into it.
It's a regression, this should fix it. diff --git a/misc/util.c b/misc/util.c index f85942e..da98d00 100644 --- a/misc/util.c +++ b/misc/util.c @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ int check_plausibility(const char *device, int flags, int *ret_is_dev) { int fd, is_dev = 0; ext2fs_struct_stat s; - int fl = O_RDONLY; + int fl = O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE; if (flags & CREATE_FILE) fl |= O_CREAT;
actually, using ext2fs_open_file() is probably better. Anyway, fix building for rawhide. Thanks for the report! -Eric
I have verified this fixes the problem for me, thanks.
