The idea is to still allow rsync to run with 32-bit offsets if the maximum filesize for a system fits in 32 bits. I haven't seen anyplace where the code is adversely affected by falling back to 32 bits that isn't already double-checked to ensure that the necessary 64 bits are actually present (for instance, the md4 calculation avoids this problem by using two 32-bit numbers to calculate its 64-bit total). Also, there are some systems where the define that use that "off_t" define to get the system's 64-bit data type. ..wayne.. -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
