I'm seeing: bit length overflow code 4 bits 6->7 in the output of rsync 2.5.0 between two Red Hat Linux systems. One is RH 6.1 (kernel 2.2.19-6.2.1, glibc 2.1.3-22), the other is RH 7.2 (kernel 2.4.9-13, glibc 2.2.4-19). Both systems have rsync 2.5.0. On the RH 6.1 box, I run this command: rsync -v --stats -az -e rsh -H --exclude-from FILE /some/dir/. rh72:/some/dir/. Anyone have a idea of what this means? -- Thomas J.

It seems like a harmless warning. Is it reproducible? Are the file trees transferred correctly? -- Martin
