similar to: Rsync doesn't appear to handle large files

I have downloaded the source for rsync 2.5.6 and compiled it without adjusting any options, no problems. Performed a test copy of a file GT 2 GB and it failed. In the file configure I changed the line to "--enable-largefile", removed all the .o files, performed a ./configure, gmake, gmake install. Tried the test copy and again received the following error message: rsync:

Hi, What are the limits to file size and file count when doing a rsync transfer using 2.5.6? I was trying to rsync about 500 GB of data with many files and many directories, but it has been stuck building the file list for several hours. First of all, is it possible to transfer 500 GB of data? Secondly, what would the limit for file count be when doing a rsync transfer? Any comments or help

hi guys Environment 2 servers (SunOS 5.8) rsync 2.5.6 Problem For a disaster recovery solution, we are running trying to synchornize interwoven backup stores between these 2 environments (server A and server B) The rsync operation is initiated over the network using 'rsh'. Once initiated from server A the rsync operation freezes with no indication. When the debug flag is enabled we get

Hi, on AIX, mkstemp doesn't open a file with the O_LARGEFILE option, so you can't transfer files > 2GB to an AIX machine.

Dear JW, I spent hours checking and upgrading my hardware. There is nothing wrong with it. It is a 'mature' Pentium-II 400MHz system that has been running my servers WITHOUT ANY CRASHES for nearly 2 years now 24/7 Listen to me: "The crashes are dues to rsync" There is an IDENTICAL report from a totally different source at

Hi all, I've installed rsync-2.5.6 on a sun box (solaris 8). When I run rsync using the command rsync -a ssh /opt/local/pkgs/httpd/htdocs/ root@remotemachine:/mnt/ I get the error rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) What could be the reason? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Rajesh.

This is a patch to fix one annoyance of having rsync processes race: I usually keep our servers synced with the following script, run by cron. #!/bin/sh lockfile -r 2 -l 1000 /tmp/synchome.lock || exit 1 rsync -e ssh -avHP --delete zorro01:/home/\* /home >/dev/null rm -f /tmp/synchome.lock -- Sometimes my users (including myself) are in a hurry and syncronise files and directories in their

Hi all, I want to copy files from a remote server to a local directory with ssh. I've some difficulties with that because on the Remoteserver I have a directory "/www/ftp" with a lot of subdirectories with each of them 4 other subdirectories. I want to sync only */data/* to the local machine without */images/* or */doc/* or */movies/* Any solution would be appreciated. regardsMac

I have encountered an interesting problem when trying to move over a mail store last night... I tried to rsync our mail store from our old mail server to the new mail store... minimal changes to the data since I had rsynced it not 3 hours before... The mailstore in total is 14GB total. Here is what I am using: /usr/local/bin/rsync --verbose --progress --stats --compress --rsh=/usr/bin/

I am using AIX 4.3.3 and 5.1, rsync version 2.5.5 protocol version 26 when rsyncing files that are larger than 2gb it dies. You get message about broken something. root limits is -1 filesystems are large file enabled. I tested this with linux to linux and it does not have this problem. any reason why it does not work in AIX? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hy folks, everybody knows, that rsync eats up a lot of memory, when rsyncing a lot of files. To avoid this i run rsync on different parts of the directory-tree (e.g. first ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir1 then ~muchofileuser/muchofilesdir2 and so on) and it works fine for me. So i tried to do this in a automatical way (e.g perl/shell/whatever

I've got a patch that changes f_name_to() to return an unsigned int (like snprintf() and strlcpy() do) and adds checking to ensure that we didn't overflow the name before we try to use it: http://www.blorf.net/name-overflow.patch If anyone would care to check out the following patch before I commit it, please do. ..wayne..

Hello, For no apparent reason Rsync is uploading the whole file even though the the remote file is identical to the local file.

Hi, I would like to log whatever happens with rsync on client side when it runs with Cygwin on NT4. First, I just did a redirect of the screen output to a log-file: rsync -rtv --delete --modify-window=2 --stats /cygdrive/g/users/bco/test/ bee2bs01::d/test/ >>c:\rsync\log\%FDATE%.log The problem with this method is that it does not redirect whatever Rsync reports as errors; because they

Hello, rsync.h is always including the syslog.h file, even though it is only used when the LOG_DAEMON macro is defined. Could someone change it to be as follows: #ifdef LOG_DAEMON #include <syslog.h> #endif OpenVMS currently does not have a syslog facility, so it does not have a syslog.h.
