Value too large for defined data type

Thanks for all of the suggestions. The one on setting the
compile option to HAVE_OFFSET64_T resolved the problem.

Thanks,

Jeff

More fields were enlarged in stat than just filesize.  I'm
guessing but i'd say your rsync was built with
HAVE_OFFSET64_T undefined.  As near as i can tell this
message appears to be comming from libc (i don't have an AIX
or Solaris machine to check).  The enlarged field could be
one that rsync doesn't care about but you might want to
rebuild rsync making sure that HAVE_OFFSET64_T is defined so
that it uses stat64.

It could be the times that are too large, particularly if NFS is involved. 
NFS defines times as being 32 bit unsigned values but Unix time is a 32 bit 
signed value and hence times before 1970 cannot be used in NFS.

Subject: multiple sessions to same destination
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 10:01:32 +0100

Hi All,

I had a look in archives but no joy.

I just want to know before i deploy - if there is any problem with having
multiple rsync sessions from many source locations all to same destination
server ( all copying to different file systems obviously ) ?? Its jusat that
i see on the destination machine a process rsync -server being called
whenever a client connects. 


Thanks !

Jeff:  I found that problem in our Sun systems.  It's commonly called the 
mtime bug.  Times are stored as a signed 32-bit integer.  The high bit is 
supposed to be disregarded by clients, and can be used for some purposes 
by the OS.  I think it's usually used for something called "exclusive 
create".  Anyway, we applied the patch on our solaris systems, and it 
didn't go away. The way we got around it was to specify mounting via NFS2 
instead of NFS3.  If I misunderstand you, and it's not an NFS mount, sorry 
for the irrelevance.

        Classification: 



Howdy,

                 I am just starting to use rsync and now have an rsync 
server set up
to back up our
various machines. I recently started getting an error that is confusing 
and
I can't find info
documented on it. I searched the news group and found it mentioned but no
solution yet.

I get the error when sync'ing from a Solaris 8 machine to my Solaris 8
server.

stat space/sunpci/drives/F.drive/docs/StorNext/LinuxPort/devfs.README.txt 
:
Value too large for defined data type
stat space/sunpci/drives/F.drive/docs/StorNext/StorNextNotes.doc : Value 
too
large for defined data type

I also see the same error going from our IRIX 6.5.15 machine, and the 
error
is seen on a directory
vs a file:
stat apps1/fsdev.cliff/jleuschner/phoenix/ver_2.1.0B57/phtm/ver : Value 
too
large for defined data type
stat apps1/fsdev.cliff/jleuschner/phoenix/ver_2.1.0B57/phtm/ver/CVS : 
Value
too large for defined data type


Any ideas as to why this is occurring and what I can do to get around 
this?
I appears that the
file gets sync'd anyway. In addition the files vary in sizes, some of 
which
do not appear
to be too large.

Thanks,

Jeff
