I have just tried to rsync a file of 2147500032 bytes (2.0000152587Gb) and got the following error: rsync -Wvaz /db/edwp/temp/edwp_temp_09.dbf klingon::Dest/db/edwp/temp/ building file list ... link_stat /db/edwp/temp/edwp_temp_09.dbf : Value too large for defined data type done wrote 81 bytes read 40 bytes 80.67 bytes/sec total size is 0 speedup is 0.00 Source and destination systems are running Solaris 2.6. Does this mean that rsync has a maximum file size of 2Gb on Solaris? If so is there a work around? Any help gratefully accepted.

Any help gratefully accepted.If possible it would be good to try rsync-2.4.7pre1 or (better) the CVS version. It's meant to detect and use 64-bit files properly on all platforms and we would like to confirm or disprove this. Otherwise try looking in config.h for settings related to large files. Please tell us what the detected settings were, and perhaps try overriding them by hand-editing config.h.> Air New ZealandI flew NZ to the states last time, and it was pretty pleasant.
