As seen on http://www.kernel.org/doc/man-pages/online/pages/man2/stat.2.html: EOVERFLOW (stat()) path refers to a file whose size cannot be represented in the type off_t. This can occur when an application compiled on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 calls stat() on a file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 bits. I believe 2<<31 should read 1<<31 (which equals 2^31). I've tested this on an Ubuntu 10.04 system and the largest file I can successfully stat [without the #define] is 2147483647 bytes. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
