Bug 103578 – lame oggenc and flac don't work with wav files > 2 GB on xfs and ext3

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Wernfried Haas (RETIRED) 2005-08-24 06:15:31 UTC]

Encoding a .wav file > 2 GB fails on my (x86) boxes if the FS is xfs. According
to stoile who came up with the problem it also fails on ext3.
It works fine on a reiserfs 3.6 partition.

A compressed 2.5 GB audio file

A compressed .wav file for testing. The data is all zeroes, so it can be
compressed to 2k. Uncompressed it is about 2.5 GB and can be used for testing
if the problem appears or not.

Here's my emerge info from one of the boxes where it doesn't work. The other
boxes are pretty similar (all x86, all using x86 as keyword), no fancy ricer
flags on the other boxes as well, just some with xfs, some with reiser.

flac-1.1.2-r3: added support for largefiles.

media-sound/sox-12.17.7-r1 is also affected:
on xfs:
# sox -V bigfile2.wav bigfile2.raw
sox: Can't open input file 'bigfile2.wav': File too large

on reiserfs:
# sox -V bigfile2.wav ~amne/scratch/bigfile.raw
sox: Detected file format type: wav

sox: WAV Chunk fmt 
sox: WAV Chunk data

sox: Output file: comment "Processed by SoX"

File size limit exceeded
the resulting file has 2.0 gigs instead of 2.4.

a quick search in their mailinglist archive found those 2 mails, not sure how
helpful they are:
