Hi All, I'm cannot get large files (i.e. >2GB) working with rsync 2.6.0 on HP-UX 11i. Here's the error: host% /usr/local/bin/rsync -v --rsync-path=/usr/local/bin/rsync --rsh=/opt/ssh/bin/ssh ./large.tar user@host:large2.tar large.tar rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 32768 bytes: phase "unknown": Broken pipe rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(666) Monitoring the download, all is fine until exactly 2GB reached. Have tried rsync 2.5.5 and 2.5.6 packages from the HP Download Centre they suffer the problem also. Environment is HP-UX 11.11 with large file support on the filesystem. Used freshly rsync 2.6.0 source, compiled using gcc 3.2. Configure line was usual: ./configure --enable-largefile. Have googled this error but so far have only trawled up one hit on HP-UX that got this error - no solution mentioned. I'm getting the feeling that this is nothing to do with large files but is rather a HP-UX<-->rsync issue. Going forward, I will try the same procedure on Solaris to see if I get a different result. Any ideas/advice would be appreciated.
