It's not the best answer, but it should work to reduce your burden for the
moment....

    rsync -avP --e ssh source/$FLDR .

Hello All,

I am having an interesting issue where using the command 'rsync -avP -e ssh'
seems to want to bail out on filesystems that have more than about 1.2
million files.
Using that same command on smaller filesystems works like a charm!  The
server is rsync 2.6.8 protocol 29 and the destination is rsync 2.6.3
protocol 28.  The server is Fedora Core 4 and the client is Mac OS 10.5.2.

What am I doing wrong, how can I get around this.  I have about four million
files on a file system that I need to replicate to a disk in this Mac!

Do I just need to upgrade?  Can someone point me to binary packages for
Fedora Core 4 and Mac OS 10.5 (Intel)???

Help!
