Description of problem: After I mounted remote NetWare filesystem all files with sizes over 4G appear as only 4G-1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-2.6.15-1.1831_FC4 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ncpmount -o tcp -A serverip -S servername -U username /mountpoint 2. cd /mountpoint 3. ls -l Actual results: All files with sizes over 4G will show as 4G-1 Expected results: They should show as they are Additional info: We have NetWare 6.5 SP5 with NSS volumes. I understand that there are no NetWare servers at RedHat for testing, but if someone is willing to get new experience then you can download NetWare 6.5 SP5 for free from Novell: 1st CD - http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/2973059.htm 2nd CD - http://support.novell.com/cgi-bin/search/searchtid.cgi?/2973060.htm
See http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0009.1/0887.html Due to insufficent info on the format, upstream has been unable to add support for >4GB.
That post is quite dated. I'll try to contact him by mail to get more current status. The information about 64-bit file NCPs is already published in "NetWare Core Protocols" February 28, 2005, Page 328.
According to mail I received he has no plans to implement 64-bit file access.
