Very large memory block.

Using rsync-2.6.6, I'm getting: unable to alloc 417794083 bytes Under what circumstances would rsync allocate a block that large? Must it be able to allocate a block as large as the largest file or something? Is there a way to limit it? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescen

rename() with link() instead? This, of course, could only be done when the backup directory is on the same volume. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God. Please contact me EMail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Canad

Logging of attribute changes when no data is transferred?

How can I get rsync to write a log record (like --log-format does for data transfer) when no content needs to be transferred but attributes (owner, group, mode, ...) are changed? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa
