Summary: block/character devices on Solaris yield wacky rsync
stats
Product: rsync
Version: 2.6.4
Platform: All
OS/Version: Solaris
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: core
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
QAContact: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The problem is easy to re-produce:
bsqa1.nyc:/tmp/rsync/test # ls -al foo
crw-r----- 1 root sys 85,16554 Oct 6 2003 foo
bsqa1.nyc:/tmp/rsync/test # /tmp/rsync/bin/rsync --archive -v /tmp/rsync/test/
master:/tmp/rsync/test/
building file list ... done
./
foo
sent 89 bytes received 32 bytes 80.67 bytes/sec
total size is 2147483647 speedup is 17747798.74
Notice the absurdly large "total size". According to the Solaris stat() man
page:
st_size
For regular files, this is the address of the end of
the file. For block special or character special, this
is not defined. See also pipe(2).
I'll attach a patch I've been using for a while now; basically, I wrap stat()
and set st_size to zero for block/character devices. David
