Support of backup volumes with size more than 4Gb
--------------------------------------------------
Key: CORE-3575
URL: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-3575
Project: Firebird Core
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.5.0
Environment: All
Reporter: Alexey Kovyazin
There is a bug in gbak implementation of backup process with volumes.
According to Firebird implementation, it sgould be not possible to create
volume of backup with explicitly specified size which is more than 4gb.
Bug is in the following behaviour - if there will be set size which more than
4Gb and reminder of its division by 4 is not 0, backup volume will be created
with remainder's size.
Example:
gbak -b -user SYSDBA -pass masterkey database.fdb vol1.fbk 41g vol2.fbk
vol1.fbk will be 1Gb in size, and rest is in vol2.fbk.
What should be done:
1) Wrong behaviour should be fixed (probably backported?) so it should not be
possible to specify more than 4Gb size
2) In the future version implement support of bigger volumes, because 4Gb is
obviously outdated limitation.
