Hi there,
today was _the_ Day. Our Uniover-file got the 2GB-Limit and inn2.2.1 didn't do
how it should.
First, the mmap-based uniover failed. "Ok", I thought, "possiby a FreeBSD-Bug"
(running 3.1-release). But it wasn't :( Feeding did, nnrpd not.
After several debugging-sessions I encountered, that storage/overview.c tries
to do a fseek() like:
[] if (fseek(config->fp, token->offset, SEEK_SET) == -1)
Unfornutaly token->offset is defined as "long", and so fseek() did an negative
seek, which is not really nice with SEEK_SET :)
As I wanted a "fast-hack" the solution was to change this line to
[] if (fseek(config->fp, (unsigned long) token->offset, SEEK_SET) == -1)
instead changing the declaration for "struct TOKEN". After remaking storage/
and nnrpd/ the system was up+running again.
Cu, Oliver Blasnik
