Description Marcin Gryszkalis 2011-01-02 01:21:26 UTC

There's nasty bug in suffix length calculation in split, it's fixed upstream
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=44dbcae6b98700617d4d3cb8d799ce83d538e3e7


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
% cat /dev/zero | split  -d -b 512m -a3 - test.  
split: the suffix length needs to be at least 9

considering coreutils-8.9 is due out soon, i'm just going to wait for that

* Noteworthy changes in release 8.9 (2011-01-04) [stable]

** Bug fixes

  split no longer creates files with a suffix length that
  is dependent on the number of bytes or lines per file.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.8]


It's there.
