Hello,
I'm using IBM's compiled version of RPM 4.9.1.3 on AIX 7 and am
attempting to package a ~30GB set of files (uncompressed).
When rpmbuild gets to the "Processing files:" stage it craps out with
the following type of message:
Processing files: foo-1.0-1.ppc
warning: Recognition of file "/foo/bar/libfile.so" failed: mode 100755
cannot allocate zu bytes (Invalid argument)
That is a failure inside libmagic, rpm is only the messenger here.
It should be reproducable outside rpm with:
$ file -z -e tokens <path-to-buildroot>/foo/bar/libfile.so
...assuming 'file' is linked against the same libmagic version as rpm,
that is.
Also what 'ls -l' says about the file might help shed some light on it.
Like Jay noted there's a 4G limit on individual files, but rpm should
clearly report that with a "File <path> too large for payload" message
so I suspect this is something different.
Smaller packages can be built just fine. I've doubled the ulimit on
files open, memory, etc. but it fails on the same file on a rebuild.
Any ideas?
You should be able to get past it by doing 'chmod a-x
%{buildroot}/foo/bar/libfile.so' at end of %install section (and/or
possibly adjust %files section to make it non-executable there too). The
dependencies wont get recorded that way, but that can be worked around
by manually adding them in the spec if need be.
