[Nix-dev] Error: NIX on a little big file system

[Pjotr Prins]

Hi Eelco,

When I run Nix on a big file system I get:

root at pjotr-32:~/svn/nixpkgs# nix-env -f . -i cmake --show-trace
installing `cmake-2.6.4'
error: while instantiating the derivation named `cmake-2.6.4' at `/home/pjotr/svn/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/tools/build-managers/cmake/default.nix:4:7':
while evaluating the derivation attribute `setupHook' at `/home/pjotr/svn/nixpkgs/pkgs/development/tools/build-managers/cmake/default.nix:9:12':
preallocating file of 1087 bytes: Value too large for defined data type

The file system is of size:

it is a little bit big...

I have used nix_0.13-1_i386.deb
