Can't read directory: Value too large for defined data type

[Steve Kirstukas <sj...@iastate.edu>]

Hi All,
I am using svn version 1.0.1 (r1) on redhat-8.
I have a subversion repository comprising 8 projects. When I type 'svn status
-v' from the top level, I see it go thru the first 7 projects just fine. On the
eighth project, I get an error... 

svn: Can't read directory 'VE_Xplorer': Value too large for defined data type

I had no error on checkout, but get the error on status and update. I and others
can do checkouts (and status, update ,etc) of this same repository in other
places and have not seen this error before.  Can anyone offer a fix or workaround?

Thanks, Steve

APR HEAD has large file support out-of-the-box on platforms with a
32-bit off_t, so Subversion should "just work" there.  APR 0.9 can be
rebuilt with LFS support using -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 etc but that's not
really a supported configuration since it changes the library ABI and is
generally a good way to shoot yourself in the foot if you're not
careful.

The APR 0.9 branch has some "large file features": the APR_LARGEFILE
flag to apr_file_open(), which lets you open and write/read >2gb files,
but you still can't stat them (useful for log files).  Also I made
apr_file_copy() work with >2gb files on Linux at least (despite my
ardent protestation that that wasn't an APR problem :), so that should
make the svnadmin hotcopy issue go away.

Google suggests that this is problem with largefile support, if you
use strace I suspect you will see a stat() call fail with the error
EOVERFLOW.  Anyone care to summarise the state of largefile support in
Subversion/APR?
