Hi !

[I have already posted this message this week-end, however, it seems
that it has been lost]

I compiled dosemu a few days ago and I have experienced some lockups
on the creation of some files. I don't know if these lockups are due
to XFS. But finaly, dosemu works fine.

However, I have a file that I cannot delete, list or do anything on
it.

sh-2.03$ ls -l emufs.s.out 
ls: emufs.s.out: Value too large for defined data type
sh-2.03$ du emufs.s.out 
du: emufs.s.out: Value too large for defined data type
sh-2.03$ rm emufs.s.out 
rm: cannot remove `emufs.s.out': Value too large for defined data type

I have an "old" glibc (2.1) which doesn't support large file. Is there
a way (via a C program ?) to delete this file ? I think it is a sparse
file (I have no room for a more than 2 GB file).
