This patch fixes up the computation of nbinodes which would go negative due to an int overflow issue when nbblocks > 2Meg for a 2Gig or greater filesystem. The computation is now done as a float equation, since both nbblocks and bytes_per_inode are no floats, and then cast to int by assignment. int tmp_nbinodes = nbblocks * BLOCKSIZE / bytes_per_inode; Upstream-Status: Submitted Signed-off-by: Saul Wold Rebased by Dexuan Cui Index: genext2fs-1.4.1/genext2fs.c =================================================================== --- a/genext2fs.c 2012-03-29 00:07:20.308856017 +0800 +++ b/genext2fs.c 2012-03-29 00:09:06.848856005 +0800 @@ -3041,7 +3041,7 @@ int main(int argc, char **argv) { - int nbblocks = -1; + float nbblocks = -1; int nbinodes = -1; int nbresrvd = -1; float bytes_per_inode = -1; @@ -3203,7 +3203,7 @@ } if(fs_timestamp == -1) fs_timestamp = time(NULL); - fs = init_fs(nbblocks, nbinodes, nbresrvd, holes, fs_timestamp, + fs = init_fs((int)nbblocks, nbinodes, nbresrvd, holes, fs_timestamp, bigendian, fsout); } if (volumelabel != NULL)
