Subject: e2fsprogs-1.41.0 - error opening fs with badblocks.

Hi,

I have created a test ext4 FS of 2.3GB. While running badblocks on it,
I get the below error.

/home/mkatiyar/e2fs-git/e2fsprogs_work/sbin> ./badblocks myfs
./badblocks: Value too large for defined data type while trying to open myfs

/home/mkatiyar/e2fs-git/e2fsprogs_work/sbin> ls -lh myfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 mkatiyar mkatiyar 2.3G 2008-09-02 10:13 myfs

This is due to open returning EOVERFLOW , but as per man page it
should happen if the size of the file cannot be represented correctly
in off_t which I don't think
is the case here.

I am on Ubuntu 8.04.

Thanks -
Manish
