I did what steve suggested here, on both machines. I didn't use any arguments for configure... just did ./configure
rsync -Caupvvvz server::myfiles /usr/mydir Here's what happens when it gets to the one file that it says is too big: pathto/myfile recv mapped pathto/myfile of size 1073741312 rsync: write failed on "/usr/mydir/pathto/myfile": File too large (27) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c (290) _exit_cleanup(code=11, file=receiver.c, line=290): about to call exit(11) rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (1347054 bytes received so far) [generator] rsync: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420) _exit_cleanup(code=12, file=io.c, line=420): about to call exit(12) >>> "Steve Bonds" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 04/12/05 12:13 PM >>> On Apr 12, 2005 10:04 AM, Jeff Schoby wrote: > How do I build rsync for large file support..I'm going to need > 4GB > files thru rsync. > > It basically stops with an error message of "File too large"...I can > re-run rsync later with the -vvv flag and post the results tomorrow. It sounds like your version of AIX has similar problems to HP-UX. You will need to re-compile rsync doing something like this: 1) run ./configure with whatever options you normally use 2) edit the config.h file and comment out the line "#define HAVE_SECURE_MKSTEMP 1" 3) continue normally (e.g. "make", "make test", etc.) Here's an older list article that describes the fix: http://lists.samba.org/archive/rsync/2004-July/010199.html -- Steve -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html -- To unsubscribe or change options: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync Before posting, read: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
