Hi Peter,

Thanks for your help and feedback. The definition from your links did work for me. Now at least stat gives valid outputs and my gzip and ls, which depends on stat, work OK though gzip still doesn't compress for some unknown reason.

Best Regards,

Anil

The struct stat layout differs from architecture to architecture.
"This layout works on x86-64" says absolutely nothing about
whether it is the right layout for any other architecture.

I don't know where you got the stat layout you say you tried,
but that doesn't match what the kernel has:

arm64 uses the generic stat layout:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.11.3/arch/arm64/include/uapi/asm/stat.h
which is defined here:
http://lxr.linux.no/#linux+v3.11.3/include/uapi/asm-generic/stat.h
