I am sending files from a 4.1.X SunOs machine to a Sun-Fire Solaris 8 with D-2 in an attempt to upgrade our systems. I moved 0ne f/s successfully containing ~ 450 M. I am now trying to move a file system of ~ 6 G. I get the output of make_list and expand file_list to 4000 bytes. It shows the moving of approx 4000 files but none are moved and the sending machine stops at the same file each time. Any ideas I have just started using rsync so I am new to it. Thanks Don
