Re: [Bug-cpio] Problem with large file

[PinkFloyd Fan]

The problem is that the cpio output file has exactly the same size if cpio 
is built with or without largefile. The only difference is the error message 
is present or not.

# ls -l
total 4701804
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     2404679680 avr 18 15:13 bigfile.tar
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       556018 avr 18 15:04 cpio-2.6.tar.gz
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root     2404689920 avr 18 18:05 largefile.tar
# cat biglist
bigfile.tar
cpio-2.6.tar.gz
largefile.tar
#

1st cas : with --disable-largefile :
-----------------------------------------
# /usr/local/bin/cpio -ov <biglist >big.cpio
/usr/local/bin/cpio: bigfile.tar: Value too large for defined data type
cpio-2.6.tar.gz
/usr/local/bin/cpio: largefile.tar: Value too large for defined data type
1087 blocks
# ls -l big.cpio
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       556544 avr 20 16:52 big.cpio
#

2nd case : without --disable-largefile or with --enable-largefile :
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# /usr/local/bin/cpio -ov <biglist >big.cpio
bigfile.tar
cpio-2.6.tar.gz
largefile.tar
1087 blocks
# ls -l big.cpio
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       556544 avr 20 16:57 big.cpio
#
