[Bug 12879] New: Cluster size not supported for large NFS mounts?

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12879

Summary: Cluster size not supported for large NFS mounts?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.54.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I get the error message "The cluster size in this system is not supported."
when trying to install fonts (arial.exe) which has worked for me before.

On a hunch, I moved my .wine directory out of my NFS-mounted
home directory and onto a local disk.  Font installation worked
fine then.

The obvious thing that occurs to me is that the size of the disk
is too large (I have a 1.2TB file server):
Filesystem           1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
server:/home         1220955136 1194313600  26641536  98% /home

I have 0.9.54 available as source and am happy to try patches against
that, but cannot use a more recent version due to the annoying VNC bug.

Regards,
David

That's not a Wine message.

You need to figure out which system component reports the error above.

Ok, fair enough.

Actually, I don't need anything.  As I said, I found a work-around.

I was just pointing out a bug in the hope that it might help 
improve the quality of wine.

I don't know enough about wine to work out which component is generating 
the error.

However, using the high-tech tool of Google turns up this thread:
http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-users/2004-December/016362.html
which suggests ntdll might be the component.

A knowledge about Wine won't help with kind of error since it's not Wine
who emits that message.

If a Wine developer tried to help to track down the source of a similar
problem that doesn't mean that the problem is in Wine.

I can confirm this error is still showing up.
My system is a Fedora 7 with latest updates: 
   - wine-0.9.58-1.fc7

my home directory is mounted from an NFS server (which seems to be very
relevant to the issue), the file system is not that big: 200Gb with 81Gb
available.

I attempted to install an application and the first message I get is this one:
"The cluster size in this system is not supported.". After hitting OK, I got it
again and then the installation proceeded. I can use the installed program.

Which arial.exe are you trying to install? I tried installing arial32.exe [1]
on NFS and that worked for me.

FYI, my nfs mount options are: rw,nosuid,tcp,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,intr,bg

I am also using the arial32.exe from sourceforge (as I
recall, the same download url).  The md5sum is:

9637df0e91703179f0723ec095a36cb5  arial32.exe

My nfs mount options are: (bg, rw)

The only other thing that occurs to me is
that I have root_squash turned on in the
server exports file.

Perhaps other users can post their options
to see if there's any commonality...

David

in my case I have:
 nfs     defaults,noatime,soft

and "defaults" accounts for: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser, and async

Created an attachment (id=15560)
 --> (http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=15560)
Patch to ensure reasonable cluster sizes

I can confirm this bug is still there in 1.0 and submit this patch which fixes
it for me. Linux reports the nfs rsize as the f_bsize value from fstatfs.
f_bsize ultimately becomes the cluster size. The linux behaviour is probably
reasonable. However, with tcp conected nfs the rsize can be very large
(defaults to 128k on fedora8) which is larger than the maximum cluster size of
any windows fs. There is no documentation I could find that says what the
largest cluster size windows (any version) accepts, but the fat32 file system
has a 16k maximum cluster size and the ntfs has a maximum cluster size of 4k
for nt4.0 and later.

A google shows that people have seen this message on windows systems (not wine)
installing onto smb filesystems as well.
