Ah you see this is the *exact* problem. This is why I ditched the code that uses stat.st_blksize. It was causing 64-bit copies on IRIX to fail. The fundamental misunderstanding (and it was mine also when I wrote this code) is that stat.st_blksize is the units of stat.st_blocks. It is *NOT*. stat.st_blksize is a "guide" to the "best" I/O size for the filesystem. It has nothing to do with stat.st_blocks. The unfortunate problem is that neither stat.st_blocks, or stat.st_blksize are defined by POSIX so vendors set them as they wish. Jeremy.
