@mateusgalasso

Considering your previous #26490 (comment) and #26490 (comment), is it correct that an error happens on macOS Ventura?

If so, please see #26400 (comment) and #26397 (comment).

Likely duplicate of #26455

I think this is a MacOS 13 (Ventura) specific bug for fcntl that occurs when using certain external drives. Are you running Ventura? If so, do you have Apple silicon (eg - M1 or M2)?

Other projects seem to have the same or substantially similar issue.

A possible temporary and ugly workaround may be to delete or comment out the following lines and compile from source:

Agree. Closing this one.

Let’s keep discussion in #26455.
