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 .../data1/intlmv.data/histimv.rec: Value too large for defined data type First thing that came to mind when brought to our attention was, did we overlook the file size limitation on the man page for rsync? Anyway, if one of you folks can respond to helping us out in letting us know if there is a fix to this. As I can see an upgrade of the "rsync" program to 2.4.6 may hopefully resolve this problem. Now that brings another question in mind, what is the limitation of a file? I just learned we have a file thats as large as 5.7gb. Can rsync handle that? Sincerely, Andre' Quintana Server Operations Manager Vestek System, Inc. 388 Market Street, Suite 700 San Francisco, CA 94111 (415) 3989-6340 x143
