Hi everyone.
I'm trying to use tar to setup a cron backup job on one of my systems,
but I'm getting the following errors:
1 $ tar -czPf /cygdrive/d/Backups/`date +%m%d%Y`.tgz
/cygdrive/c/Shares/dist/*.DBF
2 147 [main] tar 2344 C:\cygwin\bin\tar.exe: *** fatal error - fork: can't
reserve memory for stack 0x23EBE0 - 0x240000, Win32 error 487
3 7 [main] tar 1372 child_copy: stack write copy failed,
0x23EBE0..0x240000, done 0, windows pid 2353940, Win32 error 5
4 tar: child process: Cannot fork
5 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
The folder /cygdrive/c/Shares/dist/ has ~1,500 DBF files. I have run a
similar command on other folders, and did not run into any problems.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
