Fastboot flash of both regular files and barebox update handlers will print a message if the file being written doesn't fit the destination: barebox update: "Image (%zd) is too big for device (%lld)\n" fastboot: "write: No space left on device\n" With sparse images however, not the write will fail, but the lseek to the new offset, triggering a cryptic: "writing sparse image: Invalid argument" Let's improve upon this a bit by translating lseek -EINVAL to -ENOSPC, so we get: "writing sparse image: No space left on device" Signed-off-by: Ahmad Fatoum <a.fatoum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- common/fastboot.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/common/fastboot.c b/common/fastboot.c index 65d1d30f9092..261283d50a3a 100644 --- a/common/fastboot.c +++ b/common/fastboot.c @@ -598,7 +598,7 @@ static int fastboot_handle_sparse(struct fastboot *fb, pos = lseek(fd, pos, SEEK_SET); if (pos == -1) { - ret = -errno; + ret = errno == EINVAL ? -ENOSPC : -errno; goto out; } -- 2.39.2
