Using rsync 2.3.1, individual file size limitation...

2001-10-10 Thread Andre Quintana
Dear Folks, Our Company VESTEK have been using "rsync" for the past 4 months. As of today, it was pointed out that any file larger then 2,147,483,647kb (to be specific) could not be rsynced. We found too that this message in our com- mon output file showed up: send_files failed to open .../dat

Yes, built. Compiled with specific options. Do you have any questions about building on AIX? (again, I mention 4.1.5 and Apple hardware because it is older and different, but it should be easier on your newer, standard boxes) Your I/O wait was on the box being read from or written to? How

2001-10-10 Thread Bennett Todd
How about using something like the Cryptographic File System (CFS), where the files are stored encrypted locally, and the encryption is confined to blocks. This is done to make the encrypted files random-addressable in the CFS implementation, but a consequence it seems to me is that at least some

The problem --- I want to copy a file from machine A (master) to machine B (backup) but I would like to stop root user on machine B to easily look at the file contents. So I encrypt the file to send at machine A and send just the encrypted version to machine B (which has no means to dec

Three things: Does the system support chroot? Is the rsyncd running as root? Is the path correctly specified in the rsyncd.conf? I can't think of anything else I've run into or read of, to cause that problem. If it's not number three, try running it as root. If that fails, try adding use

Quick question(s) I am trying to improve the speed for an rsync backup. At the moment, we have workstations running windows 98 and I have a Linux 2.2.19 server who accesses the client disks using samba to take the backup. rsync is running in local mode, e.g. accesses directories only. Each client

I have had the same problem, but I was using the 2.4.8 kernel ( in a production environment ). I reverted back to 2.2.19, with no changes. I believe that the problem in my case was the 3COM drivers, 3c90x. I have now changed the driver to the 3C59x, which seems to work fine. Although the sympto
