Bug 43000 – Tiobench cannot deal with files over 2 GB

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Tom Dickson 2004-02-26 10:13:56 UTC]

If I tell tiotest to use a file over 2 GB, it fails when trying to seek. See below.

tiotest -f 3000 -t 1
Error writing to file: Success
Error in seek, offset = -2045177856, seeks = 0:: Invalid argument
Error read from file: Success
Error in seek, offset = -1401204736, seeks = 1:: Invalid argument
Tiotest results for 1 concurrent io threads:


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge tiobench
2.tiotest -f 3000 -t 1

Actual Results:  
There was a reported error from seek.

Expected Results:  
It should be able to deal with files that are longer than 2 GB, just like many
other software packages.

Note that many other packages work for me, such as tar, cpio, dd, lmdd, etc.

In BUGS.gz in the doc directory, it says that this is broken on Sun. Maybe it is
broken on Linux, too?

Nah, it doesn't appear to be broken here, it's just that I didn't turn on
support for it in the Makefile.

Fixed in CVS.
