Worse, it changes the value silently, and the documentation does not mention a signed 32 bit limit on this value. With loopback files growing in size with disk size, a 2GB limit is inappropriate. >How-To-Repeat: touch loopback losetup -o 3000000000 /dev/loop6 loopback losetup /dev/loop6 (returns 2^31-1 as offset, clearly wrong) >Fix: Hoping someone can tell me! >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
