Ideally we'd need to know:

- - The type/version of operating system (uname -a)
- - The type of executables (32, 64bit?). (file /path/to/check_disk)
- - Which compiler (cc -v, cc --version, cc -V, ???)
- - The full output of strace or equivalent, if possible.

Also did you compile Nagios-plugins on that server or on another?

I did some testing with a 80TiB loop device on my computer (Ubuntu
64Bit) and check_disk works like a charm on it. I then copied a 32bit
check_disk binary from a server and ran it: it failed.

- From strace I can see that the same statfs call that works with the
64bit library returns -1 EOVERFLOW (Value too large for defined data
type) on the 32bit libs, though I have no idea if it's the same kind of
issue.

I also tested artificially setting the variables that are normally set
by get_fs_usage(). It worked nicely on 64-bit systems (Ubuntu 64,
Solaris 10), while on 32bit the perfdata part was broken (the functions
uses signed integers). In both case the alerting worked properly though.
