This one started at 2.32.0-rc1, AFIAK:

expecting success of 5300.2 'pack without delta':
       packname_1=$(git pack-objects --progress --window=0 test-1 \
                       <obj-list 2>stderr) &&
       check_deltas stderr = 0

+ + git pack-objects --progress --window=0 test-1
+ 0< obj-list 2> stderr
packname_1=
error: last command exited with $?=128
not ok 2 - pack without delta
#
#               packname_1=$(git pack-objects --progress --window=0
test-1 \ #                               <obj-list 2>stderr) && #
check_deltas stderr = 0 #

Stderr contains:

Enumerating objects: 8, done.
Counting objects: 100% (8/8), done.
fatal: fsync error on '.git/objects/pack/tmp_pack_Y6t3Br': Interrupted
system call

I thought this was limited to the NonStop x86, but it also apples to NonStop ia64. Any wisdom on where this might be, so I can

debug?

This may be a recurrence of a MAX_SIZE problem from a few years ago with xread, xwrite. The I/Os that are failing appear to be using
using IO sizes larger than the platform maximum. This will cause fsync to fail with EINTR. Pointers on where this might be, please?

Thanks,
