Title:
  mountpoint: "Value too large for defined data type" (not compiled with
  64 bit offsets)

Status in “sysvinit” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sysvinit

  mountpoint is not built with 64bit offsets, and this makes it to
  misbehave on certain mounts, like in the example below.

  I have a samba mount: //192.168.80.215/Data-Area1/ on /mnt/static/57 type cifs (rw,mand)
  I execute: mountpoint /mnt/static/57
  I get: mountpoint: /mnt/static/57: Value too large for defined data type (exit code 1)

  I got the source and compiled mountpoint with 64 bit offsets: gcc -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 mountpoint.c -o mountpoint
  With the new binary I get: /mnt/static/57 is a mountpoint (exit code 0)

  I am running 10.10 32bit, but I don't see anything related to this in
  the changelog for 11.04. I tested a very old 7.10 32bit system, and it
  doesn't show this problem. I don't have anything in-between to test to
  see when this got broken.
