[PATCH] mke2fs: use ext2fs_open_file() in check_plausibility()

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



The commit:

802146c mke2fs: create a regular file if necessary

caused a regression on 32-bit machines; the open() fails if
the file size is > 4G.

Using ext2fs_open_file() fixes it.

Resolves: Red Hat Bugzilla #1099892

TBH I don't know if this should be using ext2fs_open_file(),
or some other magic like O_LARGEFILE, but this works for me,
and we use the stat/fstat wrapper here too, so ...
