/opt/freeware/bin/ls: cannot open directory //media/nfs/slack64/pubblica: Value too large to be stored in data type

This happen with coreutils-8.23 from perlz and with 8.24 recompiled on aix
The fs is nfs.
How to solve?

%description

These are the GNU core utilities.  This package is the combination of

the old GNU fileutils, sh-utils, and textutils packages.



These tools are the GNU versions of common useful and popular file and text

utilities which are used for:

- file management

- shell scripts

- modifying text file (spliting, joining, comparing, modifying, ...)



Most of these programs have significant advantages over their Unix

counterparts, such as greater speed, additional options, and fewer arbitrary

limits.

Basically, you need to ensure that _LARGE_FILES is defined, e.g., try

# export CFLAGS="-O3 -D_LARGE_FILES"

the -OX is optional. I recommend -O3 as a default with gcc and -O2 with xlc

Or, you could try my packaging (coreutils-8.25 at least).

p.s. I just checked perzl site - he is also packaging 8.25 now. The key difference between our packaging methods is that I use installp as package manager and use /opt/bin rather than /opt/freeware/bin (which means you can have both installed side-by-side and decide which is easier to manage) - Note: as I do not know the convention here I am not (yet) adding an URL to my 'aixtools'. You can try and catch my attention via twitter @rootvgnet if you are interested.

As it is too large for a comment - adding - the install instructions should you choose to use my packaging

the install command: -as root- #installp -d /some/dir -agX aixtools.gnu.coreutils; should show in the output a block of info including:

SUCCESSES

---------

  Filesets listed in this section passed pre-installation verification

  and will be installed.



  Selected Filesets

  -----------------

  aixtools.gnu.coreutils.rte 8.25.0.0         # built 22-Aug-2016 1702 UTC



  Requisites

  ----------

  (being installed automatically;  required by filesets listed above)

  aixtools.gnu.gettext.rte 0.19.8.1           # built 21-Aug-2016 1821 UTC

  aixtools.gnu.gettext.share 0.19.8.1         # universal files

  aixtools.gnu.libiconv.rte 1.14.0.4          # built 21-Aug-2016 1623 UTC

  aixtools.gnu.libiconv.share 1.14.0.4        # universal files

This means than besides coreutils you also need the gnu dependencies 'gettext' for text internationalization, and GNU iconv because coreutils does not accept the way AIX iconv implemented a number of translations.

The respective wiki (because the packages may be updated over time) links are:
- http://www.aixtools.net/index.php/coreutils
- http://www.aixtools.net/index.php/gettext
- http://www.aixtools.net/index.php/libiconv

In short, after downloading the three installp files to (e.g., /tmp/aixtools)

# installp -d /tmp/aixtools -agX aixtools.gnu.coreutils

This will install the "share" and "rte" components of each, as well as the man pages of coreutils.

If you do not want the man pages use:

# installp -u aixtools.gnu.aixtools.man

to remove them
