I have used -avvz, I had not noticed the '.. expand file_list pointer array to N bytes...' type of lines. I will try this again > If it is a really huge value, check to see if you have a directory with > a huge number of files in it.

I know I have a directory with a huge number of files in it. But this shouldn't be a big problem. Rsync from another (Linux) system works well. The linux system has a process stack limit of 8MB. The FreeBSD system from which this fails I gave 512MB max stack size. Also, like I said I added 4GB of swap space in the FreeBSD system. Here is my ulimit output: core file size (blocks, -c) unlimited data seg size (kbytes, -d) 524288 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited max locked memory (kbytes, -l) unlimited max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 11095 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 1 stack size (kbytes, -s) 524288 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 5547 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited Like you suggested, I will try using another malloc library as well. -- Rob klein Gunnewiek BWSS B.V.
