rsync 2.4.6 on Aix 4.3.3 ERROR: out of memory in make_file
Hello, Quick history... we have a server that catches build trees from a remote site (several GB/day). I have a replacement server set to take over for the older one. I initially copied all the data from the old server to the new server (TB). The copy took better than a week. Since the initial copy, I've been rsync'ing to keep the new server from becoming stale. Because our build trees are quite large (and have quite a large number of files and links), I'm unable to rsync at the level I'd like to. When I try, I receive the subject message. I see in 'top' that rsync runs up about 150MB in memory usage prior to the msg. The machine running rsync has 2G ram, and is lightly loaded. My source server has "/top/release/platform/build" where /top is the filesystem, release is ver1, ver2, ver3...vern, platform is aix, nt, sun..., build is 010824, 010823...; I'd like to rsync at the release level, but run out of memory. Currently, I have a script that traverses into the release/platform directory and rsync -a. It works, but I get accumulation because the --delete option at the "release/" level also exits with the out of memory. If 2.4.7pre has anything in it that would help handle large numbers of files/links, I can try that...
