unrar: File Size Limit Exceeded

timtux · 2006-12-02 03:20:37

Hello happy archlinux users, i have got a problem in the last fue days, dont really know when this began to appear, but i hope somone got a solution for me

I can't extract any large files anymore as a regular user. I'm trying to extract a movie thats 4gb large, as a normal user its not possible - as root its possible. I'm using ext3 fs and got enough diskspace ....

[tim@tuxBox some-warez]$ unrar e *.rar
.............
blahblah
.............
Extracting from some-warez.r41

...         some-warez.img          File Size Limit Exceeded              
[tim@tuxBox some-warez]$

[tim@tuxBox ~]$ ulimit
unlimited

You could try to use rar in AUR.

Dosent work either, btw i can do a dd if=/dev/zero of=mytestfile bs=1M count=5000... so this is very very mystical

Strace output:

Does your unrar use O_LARGEFILE to open files? You can easily check by doing

strace unrar l /path/to/some-warez.rar 2>&1 | grep "^open.*some-warez.rar"

The output should look like

open("/path/to/some-warez.rar", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3

timtux · 2006-12-02 12:28:46

[tim@tuxBox some-warez]$ strace unrar e *.rar 2>&1 | grep "^open.*.rar"
open("/usr/local/etc/.rarrc", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
open("some-warez.rar", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3

btw, this maybe is glibc related? did notice a glibc update for some days ago, and it was some days ago this problem did start to appear:

[tim@tuxBox ~]$ strings /usr/bin/unrar|grep -i glib
GLIBC_2.0
GLIBC_2.1.3
GLIBC_2.1
GLIBC_2.2
GLIBCXX_3.4
[tim@tuxBox ~]$ pacman -Qi glibc |grep Version
