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.
1) It would seem to me that the condition for this to occur would be a
file whose size exceeds (2<<31)-1 *bytes*, not "bits".
2) I got this for an overflow on st_ino (64 bit kernel, 32 bit
userland, CIFS mount of a Windows-served share).
So I'd suggest this text become something along the lines of:
path or fd refers to a file for which the value of a field of the
stat structure cannot be represented in its type. This usually
occurs with applications compiled on a 32-bit platform without
-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. The most common occurrence is when such an
application calls stat() on a file whose size exceeds
(2<<31)-1 bytes; but it can also occur e.g. for the st_ino field,
e.g. when such an application is run on a 64 bit kernel.
