Package: uucp Version: 1.07-20 Severity: normal Tags: lfs Dear Maintainer,
I move backup files via UUCP between my machines. Recently, one of the backups got larger than 2 GB. I am not longer able to receive the file via uupick - smaller files still work. See this example: mitch@yggdrasil:~/Backup$ uupick from merlin: file isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2 ? m uupick: stat (/var/spool/uucppublic/receive/mitch/merlin/isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2): Value too large for defined data type mitch@yggdrasil:~/Backup$ stat /var/spool/uucppublic/receive/mitch/merlin/isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2 File: `/var/spool/uucppublic/receive/mitch/merlin/isolde-poldi-20140406.tar.bz2' Size: 2287472681 Blocks: 4467736 IO Block: 4096 regular file Device: fd0eh/64782d Inode: 278801 Links: 1 Access: (0666/-rw-rw-rw-) Uid: ( 10/ uucp) Gid: ( 20/ dialout) Access: 2014-05-01 07:00:05.226017267 +0200 Modify: 2014-05-01 17:14:21.582420110 +0200 Change: 2014-05-01 17:14:21.602420407 +0200 Birth: - A workaround is to move the file with root privileges and chown it afterwards. (As this will happen monthly, I should write a small shell script for moving the file.) This probably is an upstream bug. Could this be fixed or forwarded?
