As I am also affected by this bug, I have done a small test. I have mounted a Windows-Share via SAMBA and copied a file with approx. 70 MB onto that mounted share. It just worked without a problem:
output of mount: //10.0.2.2/unterrichtsmaterial on /mnt/unterrichtsmaterial type cifs (rw,mand) copied file: -rw-r--r-- 1 gessler gessler 82867170 2009-07-09 15:42 eclipse-cpp-galileo-linux-gtk.tar.gz cp command: cp eclipse-cpp-galileo-linux-gtk.tar.gz /mnt/unterrichtsmaterial/HPS/ But, if I try to compile a small C source code (e.g. the classic "Hello World") I receive the following error: cc1: error: helloworld.c: Value too large for defined data type compiled file: -rwxr-xr-x 1 gessler users 76 2009-11-02 14:25 /mnt/unterrichtsmaterial/HPS/C/helloworld.c gcc call (executed in the directory where helloworld.c is stored): gcc -o helloworld helloworld.c Copying a file stored in the very same directory into my HOME is also working without problem. The system on which I have seen this bug is a 9.04 upgrade to 9.10, running in a VirtualBox environment, with all updates applied which have been released for 9.10 so far. Please let me know if I can provide further information / do some tests in order to fix this bug. -- Karmic coreutils not compiled with large file support? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
