Hi, I m using rsync on AIX 4.3 for backing up a huge database. Rsync gives error on bringing files greater than 2 GB. I tried the 64 bit version of Rsync 2.5.6 (on 64bit file system) also, but it didnt worked.
Command i m giving is: rsync -avz --ignore-errors 10.10.10.10::backup /backupdir OUTPUT IS AS FOLLOWS (with error message) receiving file list ... done ./ 1 ABC.0.db2abc.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031012072506.001 write failed on ABC.0.db2abc.NODE0000.CATN0000.20031012072506.001 : Error 0 rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(243) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (182 bytes read so far) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(165) I repeated command 2-3 times (to check for any network errors) and it always gave the error after bringing approximately 2 GB of data. The file size is 13GB. Machines on which i m running this command are RS 6000 with PowerPC Power 3 processors (4 CPU @ 350 MHz each) Memory is 2.5 GB (approx,.) Please help Thanks in advance Nitin Agarwal jw schultz wrote: > On Mon, Oct 13, 2003 at 02:34:00PM +0100, Andy Henson wrote: > > Rsync maps files into memory, so it cannot handle files larger than the > > program's address space.
