Hi again,
as I was able to reproduce this with other utilities as well I conclude that
this is not a bug in grep but in perhaps in
glibc or more probably in ntfs-3g. The files I was reading are from a disk
image created with ddrescue and contain a
NTFS partition.
Sorry for the noise,
Uwe
Hi,
I have several small files where grep'ing for a static string results in 'Value
too large for defined data type'.
E.g.
$ grep 123456 2fort.bsp
grep: 2fort.bsp: Value too large for defined data type
But grep'ing for a shorter search string succeeds:
$ grep 123 2fort.bsp
grep: 2fort.bsp mat
