[lxc-users] lxc exec - cp: Value too large for defined data type

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

I'm getting a weird issue with cp used with "lxc exec container-name 
/bin/bash /some/script.sh".

/some/script.sh launches /some/other/script.sh, which in turn may run 
some other script.
One of them is copying data with cp.

In some cases, cp complains that "Value too large for defined data 
type", for example:

'/vagrant/scripts/provision/shell/initial_deploy/rootfs/etc/php5/pool.d/phpmyadmin.conf' 
-> '/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/phpmyadmin.conf'
'/vagrant/scripts/provision/shell/initial_deploy/rootfs/etc/php5/pool.d/www.conf' 
-> '/etc/php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf'
'/vagrant/scripts/provision/shell/initial_deploy/rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf' 
-> '/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf'
cp: 
'/vagrant/scripts/provision/shell/initial_deploy/rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf': 
Value too large for defined data type
cp: 
'/vagrant/scripts/provision/shell/initial_deploy/rootfs/etc/nginx/conf.d': 
Value too large for defined data type


"/vagrant/" is a bind-mount directory within LXD:

   vagrant:
     path: /vagrant
     source: /home/vagrantvm/Desktop/vagrant
     type: disk


Anyone else seeing this?

The files are copied, just the warning is a bit strange.
