failure to load or scan directory

feh -r /mnt/EX2Cloud/jim/Original\ Pictures/ScanningProject/WOLVERINE\ 06/ feh WARNING: Failed to scan directory /mnt/EX2Cloud/jim/Original Pictures/ScanningProject/WOLVERINE 06: Value too large for defined data type feh: No loadable images specified. See 'man feh' for detailed usage information

However, the directory definitely exists, and has pictures in it. I'm on raspberry pi, and the director is an nfs mount (if that is relevant to the problem)?

This issue pertains to a Linux error, and doesn't have anything to do with feh itself. It could possibly be due to your directory being a network filesystem as you mentioned.

EOVERFLOW pathname refers to a regular file that is too large to be opened. The usual scenario here > is that an application compiled on a 32-bit platform without -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 tried > to open a file whose size exceeds (1<<31)-1 bytes;

from here
