From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0) Description of problem: When using scp to put files on people.redhat.com, I noticed that the destination files were the expected length, but full of NULLs. It took me a few seconds to figure out why my files appeared to be the correct size, but the md5sums were wrong. I expected the truncated files would have their file sizes truncated as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Give yourself a small disk quota 2.scp in a large file from another machine 3.use ls -l and od -c to look at the results Actual Results: The (truncated) destination file is reported to be the correct size by ls Expected Results: The truncated destination file should be reported to be the truncated size. Additional info:
This is fixed in OpenSSH CVS and will be in 3.6(p1). If RedHat wants to include the fix before this, it may be found at: http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=403 Note that a similar fix was needed for rcp.
