Details:
Folks,
On octave 3.2.4, 32 bit Ubuntu 10.10 x86, I get a failure on a call to
addpath('/netmnt/some_shared_dir') where the path refers to a mounted cifs
(samba) network shared folder. The error is:
'warning: addpath: /netmnt/some_shared_dir: Value too large for defined data
type'
It seems the problem is that a cifs (smbmount or mount.cifs) mounted share
has 64 bit inode numbers. If you add "noserverino" to the mount parameters for
the share in fstab, then addpath works.
The man page (man mount.cifs) says:
"It is strongly recommended to compile your programs with LFS support
(i.e. with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64) to prevent this problem. You can also use
"noserverino" mount option to generate inode numbers smaller than 2 power 32
on the client. But you may not be able to detect hardlinks properly."
So, should octave developers be compiling with D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 ?
