Folks,
I know FreeBSD deals with files larger than 2Gb, but I have a large file
on a DVD I can't copy. This is on 4.10-STABLE FreeBSD, compiled Tue Oct
5 09:42:59 CEST 2004
ls -l gives:
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel -2131373162 Nov 17 01:05 bas1.bas
The fact that ls itself gets it wrong makes me nervous.
I compiled a 5.8.6 Perl with large file support and 64bitint and ran the
following:
/usr/local/p586-64i/bin/perl -le \
'$_=shift; print "$_\t", (stat $_)[7]' bas1.bas
bas1.bas -2131373162
I updated my copy of rsync from ports and tried that way:
% rsync -av /cdrom/bas1.bas /home/david/
building file list ... done
bas1.bas
sent 87 bytes received 40 bytes 254.00 bytes/sec
total size is -2131373162 speedup is -16782465.84
... and the resulting file is 0 bytes.
I'm wondering if there is something special I have to add as a parameter
to the mount command, in order to have the kernel interpret things
differently. I've had a look at mount_cd9660 but nothing leaps out at me.
The mount currently looks like this:
/dev/acd0c on /cdrom (cd9660, local, read-only)
Or something else? Thanks for any clues I can use,
David
