Yes, I've read the FAQ, just hoping for a boon...
I'm in the process of relocating a large amount of data from one nfs server to another (Network Appliance filers). The process I've been using is to nfs mount both source and destination to a server (solaris8) and simply use rsync -a /source/ /dest . It works great except for the few that have > 10 million files. On these I get the following:
ERROR: out of memory in make_file
rsync error: error allocating core memory buffers (code 22) at util.c(232)
It takes days to resync these after the cutover with tar, rather than the few hours it would take with rsync -- this is making for some angry users. If anyone has a work-around, I'd very much appreciate it.
Thanks,
