Hi there,
when trying to store a near store on an XFS filesystem, mbsync cannot sync and prints this error:
Opening far side box INBOX...
Opening near side box INBOX...
Maildir error: cannot access mailbox '/redacted/INBOX': Value too large for defined data type
Creating near side box INBOX...
Maildir error: cannot access mailbox '/redacted/INBOX': Value too large for defined data type
C: 1/1 B: 1/1 F: +0/0 0/0 #0/0 N: +0/0 0/0 #0/0
When placing the near store on an ext4-partition, everything works.
Is this known?
TIA

you are apparently running a 32-bit build.
you can try to make it work by adding AC_SYS_LARGEFILE to configure.ac; i guess line 84 would be ok. i'd be interested whether that works even if you opt for one of the next options.
you can add inode32 to the xfs mount options, though i don't expect that to work retroactively.
but you presumably didn't actually intend to use a 32-bit build in the first place. check your toolchain.
Hi Oswald,
thanks for your hints. Yes, I am running mbsync on a 32bit raspbian using the package build.
I am unsure to switch to inode32, since the default is inode64 since kernel 3.7...
If seems I am stuck in this situation.
Best
did you try the LARGEFILE thing? did it work?
