Summary: Rsync --min-size and --max-size filter too late in the
process.
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.9
Platform: x86
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: minor
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
To allow me to copy a very large directory that cannot be copied in one go (see
bug 5727) I restricted the sizes of the files to part of the range of
filesizes.
However, it turns out that rsync still loads all files into the in-memory list
of files to copy. This means that rsync still crashes even when I restrict the
number of files-to-copy by 95%.
(Copying by subdirectory doesn't work for me: there are loads of hardlinks, and
because I know that files of size XX won't be hardlinked to files of size YY, I
can copy in stages by limiting the filesizes).
