Description Scott Levine 2004-09-14 19:22:48 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.2)
Gecko/20040804 Netscape/7.2 (ax)

Description of problem:
'slocate -u' does not add files greater than 2GB in size to
slocate.db.   slocate uses fts.  When adding files, a check is made to
see if stat() info was obtained (if (file->fts_info != FTS_DP &&
file->fts_info != FTS_NS) { ).  If it is not, the file is not added. 
Files greater that 2 GB cause the stat to fail with error 75 -
EOVERFLOW --/* Value too large for defined data type */

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
slocate 2.7-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  create a file greater than 2GB
2.  run slocate -u -c   [ -c is optional ] 
3.  try to slocate the file created in step 1.
    

Actual Results:  file is not listed

Expected Results:  path of file on stdout
