Dear rsync-developers, on AIX5.1 with 32-bit kernel one can have large-file support. rsync in principle supports it correctly since the flag _LARGE_FILES is treated correctly in the /usr/include/*.h But there is one point missing, the mkstemp is not opening a large file. So syncing large files crash after 2GB. To avoid this one could either put a
#ifdef _LARGE_FILES #undef HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP #endif at the beginning of syscall.c or in rsync.h, or one could add a &&!defined(_LARGE_FILES) in line 154 of syscall.c Best configure would not define HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP if _LARGE_FILES is defined, because mkstemp is not secure for large files. There is no mkstemp64. I did not check, whether with a 64-bit-kernel the mkstemp works properly, since I have no access to a machine running AIX5.1 in 64-bit kernel-mode. For replies, pleas reply directly, since I am not on the list. With kind regards Andreas Schott. ---------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.rzg.mpg.de/~ays | :-O Wissen ist Macht! email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | 8-( Ich wei� nichts. phone/fax: +49 89 3299-2180/1301 | ;-> Macht auch nichts. -- To unsubscribe or change options: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
