I am getting a file too large error. I have googled this and read bug
reports on file. I have upgraded rsync on the system that appeared to be
having problems. I am still not able to find a solution.
I am using Dirvish for backups and was directed to ask here as this was
determined to be more of an rsync issue.
Backup1 = system that initiates Dirvish and pulls the data from other hosts.
This is a Debian Sarge system with rsync:
rsync version 2.6.4 protocol version 29
Copyright (C) 1996-2005 by Andrew Tridgell and others
<http://rsync.samba.org/>
Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles,
inplace, IPv6, 64-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums
Datahost = system that is being accessed by Backup and has its data
backed up.
This is a Suse 9.x system with rsync:
rsync version 2.6.9 protocol version 29
Copyright (C) 1996-2006 by Andrew Tridgell, Wayne Davison, and others.
<http://rsync.samba.org/>
Capabilities: 64-bit files, socketpairs, hard links, symlinks, batchfiles,
inplace, IPv6, 32-bit system inums, 64-bit internal inums
Backup1 backs up many hosts and hasn't had a problem with files over 4g
on other systems. It only has a problem on this one, Datahost. The error
received is:
rsync: send_files failed to open "/local/notesdata/mail/person1.nsf":
File too large (27)
rsync: send_files failed to open "/local/notesdata/mail/person2.nsf":
File too large (27)
rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at
main.c(1166) Both of these files exceed 2g.
Any insight or help on this would be greatly appreciated.
