From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (Windows NT 5.0; U) When trying to identify a large file using `file`, it reports that it can't stat it. Of course, you have to be running a 2.4.X kernel to do this since 2.2 kernels don't support large files. shooter:~> ls -l /tmp/bigfile -rw-rw-r-- 1 drees drees 3145728000 Feb 10 11:29 /tmp/bigfile shooter:~> file /tmp/bigfile /tmp/bigfile: can't stat `/tmp/bigfile' (Value too large for defined data type). shooter:~> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create large file using dd: `dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/bigfile bs=1M count=3000 2. Attempt to determine the file type `file /tmp/bigfile`
This appears to work correctly in Raw Hide.

RawHide doesn't seem to fix it for me, running file-3.35-2.i386.rpm from RawHide... rpm -q file file-3.35-2 ls -lH HUGE -rw-rw-r-- 1 ruth ruth 5.2G Aug 1 05:02 HUGE file HUGE HUGE: can't stat `HUGE' (Value too large for defined data type).
