Subscribe

You can track all active APARs for this component.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

  • The message "tcpdump: pcap_dump: A file
    cannot be larger than the value set by ulimit."
    is displayed when the tcpdump output file
    size reaches 2GB regardless of the ulimit
    setting.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • We are re-compiling the libpcap.a with _LARGE_FILES flag
    enabled, since this library is common for few of the
    applications (BPF,IPTRACE,PTPD and many third party apps) We
    want these changes go through FULL ISST before we pull back the
    changes into all active streams
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix

Comments

  • This APAR is being closed FIN. This means that a solution to
    this APAR is expected to be delivered from IBM in a release
    (if any) to be available within the next 24 months.
