Subject: [PATCH] mke2fs: use ext2fs_open_file() in check_plausibility()
Date: Wed, 21 May 2014 12:35:29 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <537CE3E1.10406@redhat.com> (raw)
The commit:
802146c mke2fs: create a regular file if necessary
caused a regression on 32-bit machines; the open() fails if
the file size is > 4G.
Using ext2fs_open_file() fixes it.
Resolves: Red Hat Bugzilla #1099892
Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com>

TBH I don't know if this should be using ext2fs_open_file(),
or some other magic like O_LARGEFILE, but this works for me,
and we use the stat/fstat wrapper here too, so ...
