Category: Windows Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mark Sheppard (markshep) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: size limit exceeded for read() from network drive Initial Comment: If you've got a network share mounted as a local drive then Windows has a limit of 67,076,095 (0x03ff7fff) bytes for a read from an open file on that drive. Running the python read() method on an open file larger than this size throws an "IOError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument" exception. A fix would be for python to internally use multiple reads so as to not exceed this limit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Tim Peters (tim_one) Date: 2006-04-30 12:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=31435 Martin, here's an MS article seemingly related to this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;899149 However, it's about writing to a file on a network drive, not reading from it. It says that opening the file in 'w+b' mode, instead of 'wb' mode, is a workaround. I couldn't find anything documenting the same kind of problem for reading. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Date: 2006-04-30 06:10 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=21627 What version of Windows are you using? Do you know of any documentation of this limit? (without actually testing, I find it hard to believe that this limit exists in Windows) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Georg Brandl (gbrandl) Date: 2006-04-29 09:23 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=849994 How can it be determined whether exactly this restriction caused the "invalid argument" error? If it can't, there's nothing that can be done -- restricting all reads just because of a Windows limitation doesn't seem right. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1478529&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
