CNFS + FreeBSD + cnfsstat "read:file too large"

It seems strange that you only have one line like

   cycbuff:HEAVY0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/heavy:2752000

You should have

   cycbuff:HEAVY0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy0:2752000
   cycbuff:HEAVY1:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy1:2752000
   cycbuff:HEAVY2:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy2:2752000
   cycbuff:HEAVY3:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy3:2752000
   cycbuff:HEAVY4:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy4:2752000
   cycbuff:HEAVY5:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy5:2752000
   cycbuff:HEAVY6:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/cycheavy6:2752000

and (you can use files but in my case) 7 partitions (one for each buffer)

I've added the "cyc" because when i setup my INN, i used the same string

   cycbuff:HEAVY0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/heavy0:2752000
           ^^^^^^                        ^^^^^^
            HERE          and             HERE

and it seems INN doesn´t like it, because it didn't initialized the
buffers.
When i changed it to diferent names, the problem disapeared.

Maybe it's a bug ???

Try it and shout if you can't make it work.

Assunto: CNFS + FreeBSD + cnfsstat "read:file too large"

Good morning to all,

I have just setup INN 2.3.0 on FreeBSD 4.0 (Release) and am having a problem
with cnfsstat complaining about "File too large".  But this *only* seems to
be a problem now that the cycbuffs have filled up.

Today if I try to do a 'cnfsstat -a' I get the following:

%cnfsstat -a
Class HEAVY  for groups matching "*", article size min/max: 4000/1000000
read: File too large

The relevant section of my cycbuff.conf is:

cycbuff:HEAVY0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/heavy:2752000
cycbuff:LIGHT0:/export/cycbuffs/disk0/light:1000000

(...)

metacycbuff:HEAVY:HEAVY0,HEAVY1,HEAVY2,HEAVY3,HEAVY6
metacycbuff:LIGHT:LIGHT0,LIGHT1,LIGHT2,LIGHT3,LIGHT6

Yesterday for example, when I did cnfsstat successfully I got:

%cnfsstat -a

Each of my disks holds two cycbuffs as follows:

-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news  2818048000 Sep 14 09:01 heavy
-rw-rw-r--  1 news  news  1024000000 Sep 14 09:01 light

Are these files too big? I wondered if there was an issue with cnfsstat
*reading* my files.

Any help is much appreciated, I'm new to INN and after figuring out (some)
of the steep learning curve, I'm getting to like it!  :-)

Cheers,
Callum
