Hello ! Where do I report a serious data loss bug with GNU's split command?
Example: $ dd if=/dev/random of=file bs=262144 count=1 # Create file containing 262144 bytes $ split -n 1/2 file | wc -c 131072 $ split -n 2/2 file | wc -c 0 # SHOULD BE 131072 split -n 1/3 file | wc -c 87381 split -n 2/3 file | wc -c 87381 split -n 3/3 file | wc -c 0 # SHOULD BE 87382 The Last Chunk is completely missing, as you can see in both above examples. Additionally, if the input file is larger than 2^18 = 262144 bytes, the Last Chunk generated by "split -n K/N file" is then truncated (i.e. many bytes are missing, from the beginning of the Last Chunk). Here's the version number I'm running: $ split --version split (GNU coreutils) 8.32 Copyright (C) 2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Thanks so much for your help forwarding this to anybody who might be able to confirm and ideally resolve this for all !
