>Environment:
RH 7.2 2.4.7-10enterprise
>Description:
losetup uses an offset value of 2^31 - 1 whenever an offset greater than or equal to this is specified. 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!
