In BusyBox v1.00-pre2,
commands like ls, df with -h option report a wrong file size for files larger than 4GBtye!!
For example,
when I execute 'ls -l', it reports
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5368709120 Aug 17 2003 large_stream.tp
when I execute 'ls -lh', I expect that
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5.0G Aug 17 2003 large_stream.tp
but it reports
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1.0G Aug 17 2003 large_stream.tp
I fixed this bug that...
Line 31 in libbb/human_readable.c and line 275 include/libbb.h
const char *make_human_readable_str(unsigned long size
=> const char *make_human_readable_str(unsigned long long size
It's OK!
the problems of the previous version (used floating point, overflowed, didn't
round properly). The comments at the top of the file are worth reading;
especially note 2 concerning "ls -sh".
not going to scale up as well as I would like, and Matt Kraai and I have
discussed a better long term solution. But for now this will at least make all
the human-readable apps give correct answers.
Please test the human readable/non-human readable options on your systems!!!
