Package: e2fsprogs Version: 1.42.10-1 Severity: normal Tags: lfs upstream Dear Maintainer,
mkfs.ext2 from e2fsprogs (1.42.10-1) on 32-bit systems fails with the error "Value too large for defined data type" when working on files larger that 2GB (In my case an 8GB file). The same bug has been reported on RedHat: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1099892 A patch is available from the upstream git repo, but has yet to be released: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/fs/ext2/e2fsprogs.git/commit/?id=a7b0f770b0f3f058ff1682beba5a78def91e91a7 Thanks, Malcolm -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing-updates APT policy: (500, 'testing-updates'), (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages e2fsprogs depends on: ii e2fslibs 1.42.10-1 ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.8 ii libc6 2.19-1 ii libcomerr2 1.42.10-1 ii libss2 1.42.10-1 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.8 ii util-linux 2.20.1-5.8 e2fsprogs recommends no packages.
