Hi.. I m using rsync on AIX 4.3 for backing up a huge database. Rsync gives error on bringing files greater than 2 GB. I tried the 64 bit version of Rsync 2.5.6 (on 64bit file system) also, but it didnt worked. Please advice... Thanks in Advance Nitin Agarwal
Rsync maps files into memory, so it cannot handle files larger than the program's address space. On 32 bit machines this is likely to be less than 2GB. You don't say what processor you are running on? Can it map files of bigger than 2GB into memory? Andy Henson
