Description Helmut Jarausch 2019-11-11 16:35:19 UTC

sys-block/fio-3.16 contains the strange line
strncpy(message, sizeof(message), "%s", status_message);
at gclient.c:333

This is an invalid invocation of strncpy and there is no private definition of that name either.

Comment 1 Helmut Jarausch 2019-11-11 17:44:02 UTC

This author has fixed this already in fio-git-20191107082503

Adding

	sed -i -e's/strncpy/snprintf/' gclient.c

to src-prepare applies this fix.
