Build failure: pkgsi686Linux.nodejs

[Jayman2000]

Steps To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Make sure that you have a local clone of the Nixpkgs repo.

2. Change directory into your clone of the Nixpkgs repo by running this command:

   cd <path-to-nixpkgs-repo>
   

3. Try to build pkgsi686Linux.nodejs by running this command:

   nix-build -A pkgsi686Linux.nodejs
   

Build log

The build log is too long for me to paste in a GitHub comment, so I uploaded it as a gist.

Node 22 on unstable builds. Probably specific to Node 20, or something else on stable.

I guess you could use pkgsi686Linux.nodejs_22 instead if that works on stable too.

After I read this comment, I tried building pkgsi686Linux.nodejs_22, and it failed for me. I then tried building pkgsi686Linux.nodejs in a VM, and it succeeded. My host system uses bcachefs, and the VM used ext4. It looks like this is a bcachefs bug, not a Nixpkgs bug. The bug is now reported to the bcachefs project here: koverstreet/bcachefs#813

This kind of failure is probably due to the fs using 64 bit inodes (just a guess though)
