Hi, I'm using rsync to backup my data from my Linux machine (SUSE10.1) and Windows (XP) I've mounted a windows share on my linux and I'm trying now to copy files to the windows with rsync. The windows share is a NTFS filesystem It's all working except I have a error on large files. This is the command that I'm trying: rsync -a --no-o --delete /public/Games/Call_of_Duty2/ /backup/public/Games/Call_of_Duty2/ and this is the error I'm receiving on this command: rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4 bytes [sender]: Broken pipe (32) rsync: write failed on "/backup/public/Games/Call_of_Duty2/dev-cod2.iso": File too large (27) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(258) [receiver=2.6.9] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (76 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453) [generator=2.6.9] rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (36 bytes received so far) [sender] rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(453) [sender=2.6.9] Then I tried (as described in on the website) with the strace in front. The command format was as followed: strace -f rsync -a --no-o --delete /public/Games/Call_of_Duty2/ /backup/public/Games/Call_of_Duty2/ 2>./tracedump.log This is a part of the tracedump.log file. Where it went wrong.
