Seem to have the same problem as described in the original bug report. Installed fresh kubuntu 9.10 64 bit on new PC, did all the updates. output of uname -a: Linux *** 2.6.31-20-generic #58-Ubuntu SMP Fri Mar 12 04:38:19 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux (I replaced my machine name with *** here). I have two identical hard disks configured as RAID 1, with / on device md0 and /home on device md1. md0 and md1 are formatted with ext4.
Then I attached an external hard disk via USB. The external harddisk is formatted as NTFS. mount shows this as /dev/sdg2 on /media/Mr. Big type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096) Using cp -a I wanted to copy the contents of the external disk to a directory /home/backup (which I had created beforehand). Almost all of the files got copied, their size varying from a few kB to several GB. There were problems with three files: cp: Lesen von „/media/Mr. Big/file1“: Value too large for defined data type cp: Lesen von „/media/Mr. Big/tmp/file2.vob“: Input/output error cp: Lesen von „/media/Mr. Big/tmp/Import_DVD/file3.MPG“: Value too large for defined data type (sorry, I have a german system, "Lesen von" means "Reading". Interestingly, the actual error message shows up in English as shown above.) The info on the three files: file1 has 3.4 MB, error occurs after 2.7 MB have been copied, output of file file1: Non-ISO extended-ASCII mail text, with very long lines, with CRLF line terminators file2.vob has 3.5GB, copying stops with error after 2.3GB have been copied; output of file file2.vob: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex file3.MPG has 1.9GB, error occurs after 886MB have been copied, output of file file3.MPG: MPEG sequence, v2, program multiplex It seems to me this is not really a problem with large files as several other large files (for example one with 8.4GB and one with 4.0GB) got copied ok and my file1 is quite small. Perhaps it is a problem with fuseblk accessing NTFS volumes. or with the USB? Perhaps I should try to take the external disk out of its case and use it as internal disk, mount it as NTFS and see whether the error still occurs. (ah, I just realize I cannot do that; the external disk is an internal IDE disk mounted in a case, my new PC has SATA interfaces... well, I'm not sure if I want to buy a converter just to check this.) -- Karmic coreutils not compiled with large file support? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441021 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
