I'm trying debug an issue with my one of my disks in my system. I
have an ext3 file system mounted and ls -l is reporting an impossible
size for two of the files: log_1848_1239927341.core and
log_1848_1239927341.core~. The size is 98P. This partition
(/dev/sdb2) is only a few GB in size.
Maybe the file is sparse? What does 'stat log_1848_1239927341.core' have to
say?
Chris already posted that in this thread. The file does appear to
be sparse.
Ah, sorry. Missed it in all the strace noise ;-). So... except that my
ext3 doesn't seem to allow files of 5T or larger, I'd say nothing is
wrong here. (While I didn't see anything in mke2fs, I can't rule out an
option when creating the FS to allow files of that size.)
However, the strace output also looks very unusual ...
[snip strace]
.... which leads me to on the one hand wonder if the platform is MIPS,
but on the other hand wonder if something else is going on, since the
strace output seems to contain so many unknown errno values and the
strace output doesn't seem to end with an exit syscall.
Strange indeed. Doesn't strace usually contain calls other than
system()? :-) (It does here, anyway, but of course I am on
garden-variety x86_64.)
