rsync - Jul 2008 - some files could not be transferred (code 23) at main.c (1506)

Hi,

I'm trying to rsync a fairly large chunk of data [around 350 gigs,  
mostly 1 gig files] between 2 hosts in separate colo facilities. Link  
is plenty fast, I can pull 10 megs easily.

Everytime, it seems to die with something like this, whether I try  
rsync from the stable 2 branch or the beta 3 branch

sent 453675 bytes  received 956704928 bytes  404632.68 bytes/sec

total size is 395589020443  speedup is 413.30

rsync error: some files could not be transferred (code 23) at  
main.c(1506) [generator=3.0.3]

The machine with the data is Solaris 10, the machine I want to sync  
the data is CentOS

Any tips on how I can debug this, or what extra Info I can provide?

THanks

Jeff.

With that many large files, my first guess would be not enough RAM?

That's not "dying", that's completing its run and letting you
know that
some files could not be transferred during the run.  See the earlier
errors that rsync output for specifics (e.g. unopenable files, etc.).
