The below problem has now been solved, thanks to Wayne's combined patch :-> Don't ask why as I wasn't using logging (-v) when the problem first raised it's ugly head. Cheers Mark -----Original Message----- From: Wilson, Mark - MST [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 11 May 2001 11:42 To: RSync List (E-mail) Subject: Problem with large include files Hi there I recently tried to do a transfer of a directory tree with about 120,000 files. I needed to select various files and used the --include-from option to select the files I needed to transfer. The include file had 103,555 filenames in it. The problem I have is that the transfer quit after transferring some of the files. I am running the remote end in daemon mode. Interestingly the remote daemon spawned for this job was left behind and did not quit. I had to kill it when I noticed it many hours later. Unfortunately I didn't have any -v options so didn't get any information as to what caused it. I will be doing further tests to see if I can get more information. Are there any restrictions on the amount of files you can have in an include file? The two machines are Sun E10000 domains with 12 processors and 12288 Megabytes of RAM. Any ideas on how to crack this would be appreciated.
