Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Carl Banks (aerojockey) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: mmap tries to truncate special files Initial Comment: One Unix, the resize() method of an mmap object calls ftruncate to also resize the associated file. Problem is, ftruncate fails if the fd refers to a special file. This is a problem for someone trying to resize an anonymous memory map using /dev/zero. Apparently hasn't been fixed in 2.5 (based on SVN and changelogs) but I haven't tested it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Neal Norwitz (nnorwitz) Date: 2006-05-02 22:21 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=33168 I don't understand what the problem is. ISTM if you resize a special file an exception will be raised. Is that not the case? What do you expect to happen? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1480678&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
