Subject: ln -l says symlink has size 281474976710666
Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2001 03:35:26 -0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20010313033526.A633@grulic.org.ar> (raw)

as the subject says:

  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root     281474976710666 Jan 27 20:50 imlib1 -> imlib-base

it isn't the only one, for example

  lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root     281474976710669 Jan 27 14:43 fd -> /proc/self/fd

i.e. 2**48 + what it should be.

ver_linux says

  Gnu C                  2.95.3
  Gnu make               3.79.1
  binutils               2.10.91.0.2
  util-linux             2.10s
  modutils               2.4.2
  e2fsprogs              1.19
  reiserfsprogs          3.x.0b
  PPP                    2.4.0
  Linux C Library        2.2.2
  Dynamic linker (ldd)   2.2.2
  Procps                 2.0.7
  Net-tools              1.58
  Kbd                    1.04
  Sh-utils               2.0.11
  Modules Loaded         ppp_deflate bsd_comp ppp_async ppp_generic slhc rtc

the fs is plain ext2, and I'm running 2.4.2-ac16. My first guess
was I was needing a newer foo, but all my foos seem to be OK
(except for reiserfsprogs, but that's another issue).
