It actually aborts at 1 TiB (2^31 sectors * 512 bytes). The problem is that ufsutils uses daddr_t to represent the block number on the disk. This is supposed to be the "type of a disk address", but is defined as signed 32-bit in the Linux kernel, and signed 64-bit in the FreeBSD kernel. The GNU libc type matches the Linux kernel type on GNU/Linux systems, and the FreeBSD libc type also matches the FreeBSD kernel. I have modified the GNU libc type on GNU/kFreeBSD to match the kernel definition fixing this bug (after a rebuild) on this platform. For GNU/Linux, we will probably have to modify ufsutils sources. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bsd-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
